Avocado


Avocado  Oil on Linen  6 x 6  NFS


I'M BACK! ! ! I've been very busy for months, and have had the hardest time trying to paint regularly. Then I started painting again and had to keep scraping everything off, or sending the piece to my painting graveyard. Yes, I have one of those. I've never painted an avocado before, and it was kind of fun. I placed it on an old Canada Dry pop crate I have to make it bit more funky. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my old blogging friends and make some new ones!

I've been busy researching for a new website provider. I need an automated site but one that provides exposure as well.The ones I'm considering are FASO, FolioSnap and Foliotwist. If you have an suggestions or comments or have had a great experience with a website provider, please let me know.

  4. Hi Claire, Welcome back!! Love the graphic edge to your composition, very nice:)) I am with FASO and I love it!!! They're tech support alone is worth it, they always respond within 24 hrs and normally sooner. I find it very easy to use, it's great that you have paypal buttons automatically on each work after you start the initial one. I have nothing but great things to say:)) Happy Holidays!

  8. Oh Claire, this painting is so beautifully done! The skin of the avocado is perfect as well as the lettering on this box!! I just had an avocado yesterday and tempted for another...I'm so glad Carrie was able to help you because I'm not familiar with FASO.

  9. Thank you Hilda! I found the avocado really fun to paint. I was thrilled that Carrie was able to give me some valuable feedback on FASO. I think I have a new website coming up in the next few months.
