Stages of new painting 'Appletini'

'Appletini' came about when I was trying to think of something unique to paint. I was thinking of different types of drinks but lots of people paint those. So I thought why not put slices of fruit in martini glasses and viola! I love using the text fabric in my paintings because it adds a French flair and a linear design.

Watercolor Paintings

Using vivid colors, texture and light, I paint vibrant, close-up views of everyday objects. I paint in a representational style, but I like to complicate my paintings with the distortions of reflections, refractions in glass and silver, and shadows that move in and out. I try to evoke a feeling of intimacy in the viewer and draw him or her into the intricacies of the painting to see and experience a new perspective or thought about the subject. My medium of choice is watercolor. I love the way it flows, its luminosity, translucence and surprises, and the way it allows me to capture the special qualities of light.
