Oma's Vase & Dessert Dish  10x8"
Oil on canvas panel. $115 + tax (TX only) + $13 sh/h.



Oma loved to entertain and she certainly loved dishes - always adding to her serving ware. This white vase and dessert dish were a couple of my first selections from her kitchen goodies. I love white on the serving table. And thankfully these are also wonderful items for my studio, too! BTW, I had no idea how difficult gerber daisies were to paint! I had the rest of the painting done quickly and repainted the flower several times. Finally happy with it. This is also more of a monochromatic palette - new for me - but seemed to work well with the white. Very simple and clean. Thanks for your good wishes on this series!!!

Yup those daisy are a bear to paint, but if you hadn't told us I would have never known yours looks great. Such a sweet painting, I can feel the love for your Oma.
