    LOVE all of these–but the wine and cheese drawing tops the list, and of course those peaches at the top– they ARE GEORGIA peaches, right?! Seriously, you are so gifted and I always enjoy ALL of your beautiful renditions! Hope you and yours are gearing up for (and have) a fabulous fourth. Georgia Gal

    I always enjoy your posts on painting, and admire your talent. Despite how easy you make it look in some of your tutorials, I can personally attest that it is not. Of all of the photos of your work that you have shown here, I must say I am over the moon with that wine and cheese painting. So pretty!

  11. Well of course I love all of these because I love all your art. But I especially love the wine and cheese painting. I might have to check out that tutorial. As you know, I’m most fond of both!
