Summer Vegetables - Wk 37-38 DSFDF Challenge

Summer Vegetables 8x10 Oil on Masonite

This is my submission to Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks (DSFDF) challenge for week 37-38. Every other week or so Karin posts a photograph on the DSFDF blog and artists from around the world submit their work to be posted.

This is the only painting I've done for about a week. I've been working on my backyard studio - putting joint compound on the newly installed sheetrock. I hope that I can begin painting the walls (and ceiling) this weekend then begin moving my art "stuff" into THE STUDIO from a 3rd bedroom in our house.

  1. Hi Ken!
    This is a great painting! Those tomatoes are awsome, are my favorite part ...
    I'm happy for you and your studio project, everything seems to be going smoothly (and exhausting too :), but so great! Hope everything ends up just the way you want it!
    Best regards,
    Carolina

    You're invited to be my first guest artist! So, anytime you're in NW Arkansas, drop in and use anything that you need. :-) AND stay as long as you wish! :-)

  7. Sylviane, Liz - thank you for your very kind comments. You are invited to drop by my studio as well! I might be traveling to Lima Peru to see Carolina, so telephone first! :-)

    Back to finishing the sheetrock joints. Everything (including me) becomes covered with fine white dust. I wonder if I'll ever get rid of the dust?

    Thanks again, my friends.

  11. Thanks, Diana. I realize how lucky I am every time I work on or in my studio. My wife, Melissa, has helped a great deal and encouraged me to build this "dream".
