A Frog ,Trees And A Giant Lemon

Last week I finished 2 paintings. The frog which I call "Frog Boy" I painted when I was teaching my first student, it's based on a stuffed toy I have and we both were working on our own, I wanted her to get the feel of the paint for the first time.

This second painting "The Fruit Orchard" Was a painting I had been working off and on for many weeks, it is part of my surreal fruit tree series and this is the largest so far 36x48 oil. To see other surreal fruit trees that go with this piece which include Cherry,Lemon,Orange,Dragon Fruit, Horned melon, Pear, Mango, I will add a link to my website.

Surrealism And Lemon Drops

Hello all artist's and art lovers! Happy Valentine's Day! I went from my humorous mood in my work to my surrealistic mood this week and have a series of Lemon paintings I have been working on. This one is called "Lemon Drops" Surrealism is such an interesting genre and stretches the imagination. I was told once by one of my followers that there aren't many females that paint surrealism. I find that interesting and wonder why. Any input by anyone with that?

The Amazing Race

Here is the latest painting in "The Amazing Race" series. There are 5 total now with this one being the only one available. I just love the thought of retro planes racing with giant fruit instead of bombs, Even though I am referring to this one having cherry bombs it is more of a joke. I am planning a huge one in this series maybe around 48x60 in the next few months. If anyone wants more info on this piece email me. I also have prints available of everyone of them in the series at www.paintingmaniac.com Thanks for reading my blog! Leah Saulnier The Painting Maniac
