Le Gecko dans sa feuille



  Well here is another little gecko that I captured by surprise while on my trip to Hawaii in March.  He was just tooling around his little leaf minding his own business when I shot him.  This guy was super fast though he liked playing hide and seek with me.  And you thought that was just for kids.........

Nick's Second Aubergine


  SOLD/UNAVAILABLE

  Well my boss (in case you haven't figured it out, his name is Nick) was pretty lucky this summer.  Despite the vermin I had to fend off in the garden and the lack of water in the North East the eggplant crop was great which he was the recipient of many......  And I absolutely love painting these little guys they're so cute.  Organic gardening is fun and the rewards too many to mention (well a sore back isn't one of the benefits but you will get that too ...)

Nick's First Aubergine


 SOLD/UNAVAILABLE

 So I have a tiny plot of land that I work a small organic garden on in the summer at S&Co.  The first year i planted eggplants my boss couldn't get enough of them so I decided to plant 6 of his own plants so he could have his own fruits.  Here is the first one that was born.  Cute I'd say and probably bursting with flavor!

Green Banana Smoothie


  BUY NOW $100

  Well if there is food on my canvas (or the remains of) you can always tell what I was eating that day (: Here's one of my favorite smoothies made with banana, swiss chard, coconut water and a hint of vanilla.  I know sounded pretty gross to me at first too but sometimes you need to be adventurous and try new things.  Green smoothies are really good for you, although I must admit I can't do them everyday.

Hot Pink Lotus Flower


  Well I wish I had one of these lotus flowers right now to lift me out of the winter blues mood!  The shortest day is rapidly approaching in the North East.  The weather has been arctic freezing to dreary drizzle and since the lotus is supposed to uplift ones spirits I'll take a dozen right now!  Just think you can look at this all the time if that ever happens to you!

Le Gecko Se Cache


 BUY NOW $100

 I captured this little guy when I was in Hawaii last spring for the art show my work was featured in.  He appeared to be hiding, but really I think he was a secret admirer!  My friends were amazed at how many of these little guys I would find and take pictures of..... apparently it's rare so enjoy him while you can like all of life's present moments (:

Red Tulip, II


 BUY NOW $125

 So I bought these amazing red tulips at Guido's here in Lenox and had to paint some pieces of them.  Guido's has a little section of the store dedicated just to flowers and they often have some spectacular arrangements.  The little ruffled edges of these tulips are just so cool and the vibrancy of the pastels I am using to paint with show the flower off nicely!  Comes framed in black.
