"Egret Encounter" by Pat Cahill

This 13.5" x 17" watercolor painting of "Egret Encounter" captures two egrets sparing over food. The egrets, usually seen as solitary birds, were feeding in a local pasture field and were very aggressive towards each other.

"Local Treasures" by Frances Kuta

I titled this painting "Local Treasures"...wine and cheese of Humboldt County! Did you know Humboldt County has about 23 wineries??? The cheese is the wonderful Cypress Grove "Humboldt Fog"...a semi-soft aged goat cheese of the cleanest, purest goats milk in the area...yielding goat cheese from heaven in my opinion! I'm ramping up to paint a handful of paintings that are all about wine. It'll be fun. 8" x 10" oil on linen panel.

"Plum, Ranunculas & Silver" by Frances Kuta

I think ranunculas are my favorite flower. I set this little arrangement up and of course my husbands' great grandmothers' teapot found a way into the composition. I love to paint that curvy, silver, tarnished old pot. This one is 5" x 7" oil on board.
