Tomatoes, sunflowers and an eggplant. Just a little still life to clear my brain and rest my eyes. I am using this color palette for an interior too -- the living room of my friend Anne-Joelle Galley

The Tour Eiffel and poached pears . . . a little dessert wine. Maybe I am daydreaming too much about traveling to France. I want the painting to have that kind of essence of memory so it needs to only be somewhat defined -- which can be more difficult than it sounds.

This painting has been in the works for the past couple of weeks, maybe a month. Playing with perspective and color a little bit but not sure how close I am to finishing it. I will just keep working with it and hopefully have it finished by June 11 for the Art Walk in Galveston
