View from Hake Road SOLD

On Maury Island looking north towards Dockton from Hake Road.  First it was forest, then it was farmland, but now it is filling up with houses on five acre parcels.  Every houseowner clears their property towards the view and plants trees to screen the neighbors.  The trees are coming back, slowly but surely.  

Green Apples Black Cup Silver Fork

I know you can't eat apples with a fork, but the fork looked more interesting than the knife.  I like the yellow and blue on the tines.  I also really like the reflected light on the apples.  A strong downlight gives a great bounce back on the underside of the apples. 

Five Sun Gold Tomatoes

The tomato crop was hampered by a cool summer, but the sun gold tomatoes in the greenhouse still had lots of flavor. They are my favorite cherry tomato and have an orange color rather than red.  I like the bits of reflected light on the bottoms of the tomatoes. 

Blue Cup, Green Grapes, Purple Wall

Yes, another blue cup painting.  I like the shiny dark element as a foil for the pale green grapes.  You may notice there are stems with no grapes on them - that's because I have a habit of eating the grapes before I get the composition finalized. Though the paintings always seem better with fewer grapes-maybe because they drape in interesting ways with gaps and holes where I've picked the grapes.
