The Cake Mix Cake (add 2 eggs)

This painting shows several items I had never tried to paint before–a stainless steel pan, eggs, and a stainless steel spoon with wooden handle! It is a “kitchen painting” and for further information, click here.

Red Apples on a White Cloth

The light on the two apples modeling for this painting is coming from both the right and directly over head. Most of the time, I have my lamp focused on the left hand side but I wanted to try something different. For more information, click here.

Three Apples

The two apples in the front are honey crisp apples but the apple directly behind them was a solid red delicious (I think). This is a small 5 x 7 painting on canvas panel. For more information, click here.

Two Honey crisp Apples

Honey crisp apples are not solid red, but always have yellow on part of their skin which makes them fun to paint. These two were part of a group of three but one got eaten before this painting was begun! For more information, click here.

My new book, The Civil War Letters of Deakins, Perry, Wollery, Fox and Others.

I have just published a book of Civil War letters that my father, John William Perry, inherited from his grandfather, a Civil War soldier. The book contains photographs of my great grandfather in his Civil War uniform and of his wife and son. You can see and read a lot about this book on Amazon. Click h ere for more details.

Big Boy Tomatoes

Three juicy tomatoes! I was not able to grow tomatoes in our yard last summer but a friendly neighbor gave me these and I used them as reference models before painting them. The painting went up pretty quick as my husband wanted them for lunch! For more information, click here.
