I love pears, so firm but yet juicy.  The title is thanks to Johanna Arnett who reminded us when we took her workshop last year,"when you don't know what to do, red, yellow, blue."  I think the pear is a stand-in for the yellow element.

 Another upside down cereal bowl!  I must be starting a trend??  Well, if I had left it right side up, the cupcake would have only been peaking over the top edge of the bowl from the inside!   My friend Laura, (also an artist, sometimes watercolor and sometimes pastel), gave me the cupcake and I forgot to eat it that day.  The next time I went to the studio to paint it was practically petrified as in The Petrified Forest.  But therefore holding its' delicious folds of butter-cream and sprinkles easily.   However, for some reason no one wanted to eat it after I finished the painting????

A good painting friend invited me over to paint and have dinner.  What a deal!  She furnished the still life(except for my lime green plate that I bought in the clearance area of Joanne Fabrics) and made a terrific dinner, too.  When I came up with this title, I was thinking of the buttercream frosting which was really yummy, and the cookies.  A little take off on "cookies and cream".

$95.00 framed in plain black wooden frame.  S&H to your ZIP
To purchase,email me at gloria@gloriajzucaro.com
 That sounds like a healthy breakfast!  I love to "pose" my subjects in unusual ways, so the cereal bowl is upside down supporting the cup.  The lemon gets center stage.  Oops!  Where is the spoon?  Oh well, I guess I will eat my granola dry...with my fingers.  Makes it last longer anyway!

"Spring Faces"

6"H x 6"W on Raymar Canvas Panel, Framed
$95.00, S&H to your ZIP
To Purchase, email me at gloria@gloriajzucaro.com


 Ah! Remember Spring...I think it lasted about two minutes!  Well, these lovely ladies were in small pots on my front step/planter area.  I just returned from a week away at The Clearing Folk Art School in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin.  I took an excellent oil/pastel workshop from Frankie Johnson and was also there while the Door County Plein Air Festival was going on.  Anyway, I digress...When I returned I found all my potted plants to be burned to a pulp by the incredibly hot and humid weather that the Chicago area had during the past week.  So even though my pansies had gotten a little leggy the first of July, I had cut them back to rejuvenate them and kept up the watering and some fertilizer.  But to no avail!!  They are officially over!   But you may have them forever..what a deal!

To Purchase, email me at gloria@gloriajzucaro.com
I love all kinds of orchids and they are the flowers I paint most frequently.  These are just the very tops of an orchid plant I have on my desk.  I had planned to paint the whole plant with the long,long stems and all...but the beautiful flowers themselves would have been lost, too miniature.

"Green Glass"

6"H x 6"W Original Oil On Stretched Canvas
Unframed with Finished sides Ready to hang.
$65.00 plus shipping to your location.
SOLD

I have owned these green glass salt and pepper shakers for many years and still love looking at them sitting on a tray by my stove top.  I originally bought them at the St. Charles Flea Market at the fair grounds in St Charles,IL.  There is nothing more fun than whiling away a Summer afternoon browsing through treasures from times past.  Of course, the roasted corn, dripping with butter, and the funnel cakes with powdered sugar don't hurt either!
