Here are some still life paintings, in part inspired by Taryn Day's terrific work seen here at her blog, "Awake and painting" , check it out!. She is also a fabulous portrait artist. The red onions are painted on a hardware store paint color chip, a new medium i've been exploring. I'm trying to generate some revenue to realize my materialistic dreams ( a trip? A BMW cabriole ? more paint?) so I am putting these up on etsy for purchase along with others seen here on the blog. link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaulHBrahms11
