Here's the last of my nectarine series. Have I mentioned lately where I get my colored paper? I go to art stores (like Michael's or Hobby Lobby), and look in the scrap-booking section. They have big square sheets in every color imaginable! I just get the plain ones because most of the patterns are too small and distracting from my objects.
Abbey Ryan is teaching a class soon called "The Innernet." It's a 1-week e-course about what it means to balance our creative lives online (Internet) and offline (Innernet). Honestly, I think it's a brilliant idea, and something I need myself. If you use the code "carols-blog-follower" you get a huge discount (over half off - regular price is $97)! But you have to sign up by Sunday (5/31/15).

This one is a little detour from a string of nectarines to some California sunshine. I find painting layers like this is much easier with an organized palette. Soon I'll take a picture of that and explain further. But basically it means putting the colors for the layers in order so you can compare them on your palette before you commit them to the painting.
Here are a few more deliciously colorful nectarines for your enjoyment. And a cup, the inside shadow of which I am especially proud of. A funny thing to point out, I'm sure. But then I've already had a glass of wine as I'm posting this. : )
