A fellow artist gave me a bag full of quince that had fallen off a tree in a storm. Gorgeous and ripe, they did not last long. Painting the progression of decay as we read the composition left to right was my goal. 12" x 16", Oil/panel, $ 1,200

I just love this little alla prima, the latest to my site. The paint is still wet, as is my appetite for more persimmons. Oil on linen, 8"x10", $675

For those who don't have an instant recognition of this item, it is a pin cushion. Far more lovely and delicate than anything I could sew, I never wanted to mar them with pin holes. Oil on cradled panel, 6"x6". $375

I found this little pot (dhallah) treasure hunting in Connecticut. It was love at first sight. I keep painting it with different color schemes. In this painting, it takes a back seat to pomegranates, which I've loved since I was a very strange child. 12" x 12" Oil on Canvas. $975

I love persimmons. Beautiful on the tree and on the table, in my hand and in a painting. To all my senses. Oil on cradled board, 6"x6". $375.

I wanted to capture the sense of the bride having shed the shell of this wedding kimono, but also of having left something of herself behind. 16" x 30" Oil on linen $4,000

True confession, this was an excellent bottle of wine, enjoyed in late fall with a hearty meal. And husk cherries, cerise de terre, are a fall fixture in my garden and kitchen. I love the ephemeral papery delicacy against the longevity of vintage wine. Oil on cradled panel, 6"x6", $375.

Good things come in small packages. An artist friend gave me a bag of the most wonderful quinces and I just had to paint them! 5"x7" oil on panel, $475.

The Navajo code talkers, also known as Windtalkers, played a critical role in the US fight against the Japanese in World War II. Their heroic efforts and sacrifices while wearing the uniform of the country that treated them so shamefully are profound. To me, this primitive Kachina rightly places the Windtalkers into the legends of the people. 9" x 12" oil on linen $725
