Emergent Growth

Emergent Growth, ©Laura Gable, 16x20 watercolor on paper
Reaching from within the vines, I find an abundance of flavorful fruit at my fingertips. I reach forth as though my hands and arms were growing on the same stalks and vines as this abundant plant. The hand melds with the growth and makes a plentiful offering.

Painted in watercolor on a gold gessoed paper. The paint has a brighter tone than it would if painted traditionally on absorbent paper.

On a Blue Day (SOLD)

"On a Blue Day" ©Laura Gable, 8x8 oil on board, $110

A jaunty sunflower tucked away in a tea cup with a brilliant blue background. Very fun and exciting color combos. A little playful for a Friday. I have a number of tea cups and have chosen recently to use them. It is fun to have a little tea party with these lovely little beauties.

Batterbowl and Figs

still life,oil on board,8x8,price $110
copyright Laura Gable
Reprising a previous entry, this was painted on a cool day in May -- a studio still life with the antique spouted mixing bowl in the most delicious shade of turquoise. The figs were cut and ready to be eaten, and they were juicy and yet very mild. A fig examined, is quite a little treasure.
