Silver Creamer with Strawberry

                   

"Silver Pitcher with Strawberry", oil, 5 x 7"

                              $75                      

     My daughters and I filled this silver creamer with fresh cream, arranged a plate of strawberries, and drank tea from great, great aunt Martha Wozniak's Aberdeen china to watch the first two seasons of Downton Abbey.  We left the series at the end of Season Two because we wanted Mary and Matthew, after that romantic whirl in the gently falling snow, to live happily ever after. And so they did.

Pumpkin Top

"Pumpkin Top", oil, 5 x 7"

Sold

     This mini-white pumpkin is perched atop my favorite tea cup.  My friend Gladys Mitchell has a teacup just like mine.  Her brave teacup survived a house fire that damaged most of her belongings. After the fire, her cup still sat prettily perched atop her fireplace in the midst of a shockingly soot covered room.

Washington Crossing Village House



"Washington Crossing Village House", oil, 8 x 10" 

NFS

   This house sits near the Washington Pavilion at the far end
of the tourist village in Washington Crossing Park on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River.  In early November autumn's colors are still bright but brittle, crackle underfoot, wrap the house a halo of pale gold. I painted in the company of my Shetland Sheepdog and the Artsbridge River Rats.
