Teapot Sill Life

When we were young and working in Calgary, my sister and I lived together. This  teapot was a birthday gift she gave to me at that time.  Now 30 years later it is still my favourite teapot, used for special occasions.  This week, I had company who brought these flowers.  We had tea, and I’d bought groceries, thus the avocado on the cupboard.  All these events coincided in a “found still life” on my kitchen cupboard.

Summer Kitchen

It’s so great to have a garden again, after several years without.  There’s something about being out in my bare feet amongst the vegetables.  This has been a fantastic tomato and pepper year, and this week I started canning both. The result was a “found still life” on my kitchen cupboard.  Anybody for pickled peppers?

In the Spotlight

Kinda liking these pears lately….what can I say, they have personality.  Maybe I’m spending too much time in my own company.  I notice that I’m very easily entertained.

The Bad Thing About Gossip

The kitchen cupboard was so much fun yesterday that I decided to set these pears up and paint them.  Their body language has a lesson though.  Whenever you have gossip, someone is left feeling excluded and hurt.

Kitchen Combo

Time for a change of pace.  As I walked through my kitchen this morning, here was evidence of company for dinner the evening before, sitting on my kitchen counter, bathed in light from the window. A small reward for my careless housekeeping.

Pomegranate & Onion

 OK, I know these two are “odd bedfellows”…..I wonder how they met.   It’s fun though, to paint things just as you happen to find them on a shelf, or on a kitchen counter top. My friend John calls that a “found still life”.  I think I could come up with a really tasty salsa that included this mis-matched pair….OR write a steamy romance novel about their unusual liaison.
