Cooking School


Roxanne Spradlin.......Cooking School....... 48" x 24".........oil..........SOLD


Friend Debbie Byrd, who recently completed a kitchen remodel, commissioned me in July to paint this large painting. Debbie, who once was a foreign exchange student in Sweden, was delighted with all the clogs. In fact, she still has a pair she bought and wore when she was there. I can hardly wait for Cooking School to take it's place of honor on Debbie's kitchen wall.



Here the process. Wash and sketch.




Fill in, highlight and shadow.


Stand back and take a good hard look.
Debbie, thank you for challenging me to paint this subject. I really enjoyed it and couldn't be happier with the out come.


Next time your family is all lined up for a family photo, snap a shot at their feet. It's a fun thought, don't you think?


Have a nice weekend! Go Coogs!

    I love it! It seems so realistic. Almost want to put a name to each one.

    I am amazed...... I love the bird nest paintings.... and the florals that you have produced....but this has such a uniqueness about it. I see New York Art Exhibit written all over it. Totally, totally amazing.
