Nora Sallows is an artist who embraces the NEW REALISM

My blog is a reflection of who I am and what I paint, with notes here and there about WHY I paint and what I think about life in general. I'm a Christian, a mom, a wife, and a strong supported of animal rescue organizations and environmental issues. My goal when I paint is to create my own little version of reality. The painting is usually not about the thing I'm painting; it is always about me and what I bring to the equation.

More Quickies

I woke up early this morning, showered quickly and had an hour to spare before I needed to leave for work. I felt like doing another one hour painting. I bought zuchinni and peppers yesterday for tonight's stir fry so they were an obvious choice. What did I previously say about one hour paintings? Use familiar objects, right? Well rules are made to be broken. I have never painted zuchinni OR yellow peppers before. I decided to add a piece of vintage Frankoma pottery to the set up. I love the earthy tones of the pitcher but they are actually very close to the color of the background so that's another challenge for a one hour painting.

I set the timer and the hour went by unbelievable fast. But it always does when I'm painting.
