"Red Grapes on Flow Blue Plate" Original Oil Daily Painting

 
Red grapes are just about my favorite as is this plate, an old flow blue Phoenix bird design that goes with the tea cup I paint quite often.

"Red Onions" Original Oil Daily Painting Still Life


 
I bought the onions at the local farmers market with the intentions of making chili! But when I got them home they looked so radiant in the sun I just had to paint them first. Now they are ready for supper!

"3 Arkansas Persimmons" Original Oil Daily Painting by Ashley

 
I have to admit that the persimmons are still hanging on to the trees here which gives me another opportunity to paint them! Their leaves are starting to change though and fall is here, albeit a rather warm season still.

"Arkansas Black Walnuts" Original Daily Paintings by Ashley


 
The last of the walnuts are being shelled and cracked. My family always dried them in the hull and harvested the nuts all winter. But they don't stay this pretty color of green very long! This is an 8x10" that I have had so many requests for.

"Owl Feather" Original Daily Painting by Mary Ashley

 
We set outside quite early in the mornings and have coffee. It was still dark this particular morning when we heard this loud swish of wings and could see the shadow of a very large bird fly over our heads. Later when it was daylight walking in the yard there on the ground was this wonderful feather! I will probably paint it again, it's just so fascinating.

"Sumac Fruit of Fall" Original Daily Painting Oil on Canvas



 
Sumacs are shubs and small trees that can reach a height of 3 to 8 ft. They form dense clusters of reddish druplets called sumac bobs. The dried spicy species are ground to produce a tangy crimson spice that has a tart citrus or lemony tast as this does. They are very striking this time of year.

I walked the forrest and found the nest and such a neat little builder even has a feather built into it. The berries I believe are wild rose hips.

"Wild Arkansas Persimmons" Original Oil Daily Painting by Ashley

 
I have lots of these persimmons now and the painting of
them is done and so are they! When they ripen and start to shrivel they get rather unpleasant to look at.
