I found this oil painting in a thrift store last month and have given it center stage in the kitchen. The glowing cantaloupe! The copper kettle! The straight-up-and-down knife, and the seafoam green!

Love the vintage teal blue in the painting! You always have the best thrift store finds!!
Wow! That is beautiful, and just right for the kitchen! The thrift stores in my area seem to specialize in pictures of Elvis or wolves or sad clowns painted in lurid colors on black velvet. Your find gives me hope that maybe someday I will find something I will actually be willing to take home!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have three daughters whom I homeschool: Clara (16), Bella (14), and Daisy (7), and two older sons: Giles (20), a college graduate, and Felix (18), a college freshman. I'm 41 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
