So here is the first one: "'L' is for Lemon".
And because I'm free to make the rules as I like them, the previous two paintings belong into this series as well: "('S' is for) Strawberry Trio" and "('K' is for) Kiwi Duet".

'L' is for Lemon
The third fruit painting - and I've decided to 'join the bandwagon' and start a series of fruit paintings following the alphabet. Not in the A to Z order, and not within a given time frame, but I always love the idea of series or groups of painting belonging together.

Kiwi Duet
Next fruit: Kiwi!
I honestly didn't plan on painting this, but realised on the way to my weekly evening at my atelier that I had nothing to paint there - so I stopped at the store next to the gas station and bought a Kiwi.
The painting is the same size and format as the 'Strawberry Trio' and the do look really nice and almost summery next to each other!

Strawberry Trio
Such a wonderful day today! The sun is shining, all the trees are in bloom, people are smiling - and I got to paint strawberries!
I haven't really painted for almost three weeks now, and it felt good to be back at the easel!
The seeds in the strawberries had me puzzled to begin with, but I realized the 'trick' is to paint the highlight around the seeds - et voilà!

Cheese Cake (with Berry Coulis)
Yes, this is it, the last of my "Take 10" paintings!
At least for the moment, I'll definitely do another "Take 10" series again soon. It's just so much fun.
Especially this one. I wanted to end on a good note, and celebrate. With cake. Of course!
My next "Take 10" might acually be all cakes, wouldn't that be cool?
What's YOUR idea for my next series of paintings? Let me know here or on Facebook!

What else?
Remember yesterday's Carrot Cake painting?
It was really fun painting it, AND as a nice treat I got to eat the cake afterwards. It was delicious, and what better to go with it than my favorite coffee - Nespresso (what else....)!
So for number 9 in my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge I played around with the colorful and nicely shaped coffee capsules. Reminded me a bit of the Lego paintings I did in January...

(Spring) Carrot Cake
Sooo.... you might ask yourself: What exactly is a Spring Carrot Cake?
Easy - it obviously is a carrot cake painted as part of my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge. But why should I choose carrot cake as a typical spring subject?
Honestly, no reason.
Apart from today being 'Pie Day'! - and although this cake is not a pie, it's close enough, don't you think?

Spring Artichoke
This is already Nr 7 in my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge - only three more painting days left...
I love artichokes, but I've never cooked them myself. So I bought two and will hopefullly have them for dinner tomorrow.
