Power Veg

Power Veg by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gesso board

Everyone in our family loves to eat this vegetable. I understand it is packed with vitamins and good things. This morning as it posed for me, it looked very muscular.... I have been spending extra time enjoying activities with my family this week as the summer is waning. So much to do in such a short summer! I will be back soon.

Butter Up

Butter Up by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessoboard


There is nothing like cooking with real butter. The butter dish is an old garage sale find. It has a silver cover. I probably should paint it with the cover on sometime!

In progress: Shopping List


In Progress: Shopping List by Sandra Galda
32"x36" oil on stretched canvas

Had a nice Fourth of July weekend and a chance to continue working on this large work. I hope to post a small work tomorrow. This larger canvas requires a bit more work, especially at the teacup and spoon area, but I can see it is nearing a conclusion.

I bought these pears a few days ago and they are still not ready to eat, so I keep painting them. I wonder if putting them in a brown paper bag will speed up their ripening?

Market Radish


Market Radish by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord

I love the remaining greenery on fresh radishes, not found when you buy them in plastic bags. It makes me remember summertime gardens and what it is like to pull these up fresh from the mud. Radishes have a remarkably short seed to harvest time. I often just plant the seeds around the edge of a vegetable garden like a border so I can easily harvest them and replant.

Coruscating Eggplant

Coruscating Eggplant by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord
Yes, I am intrigued by the gleaming reflections on this vegetable! This little guy was also from the weekend market trip to Boston. I sure got a lot of items to paint from that market. It is kind of hard to bring myself to actually cook the 10 or so small eggplants we bought there, they are so cute and soooo small---they don't seem real.

Row of Apples (NA)

Row of Apples by Sandra Galda
4"x6" oil on canvas board
I painted this in a hurry, causing the exercise today seem pretty perfunctionary. Despite the rush it turned out ---not too bad. I try to imagine the small paintings in this blog as if they were to be part of a larger painting context that I might create someday. If so, I think they would be pretty passable.

in process: Apple Pie Supply by Sandra Galda (NA)


Here is an 8"x10" oil I am working in the midst of some uncooperative weather...ice storms that have wiped out electricity in our area. We now have power, but soooooooo many still do not. I hope to finish this in the next day or so. Baking must be really on my mind....I am both baking and painting about baking....Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas everyone! If you are interested please contact me by email on this one. It is not done yet though---clip is still visible at top right. Below is the easel set up I am using.


The above photo shows my current set up---I have clips holding the small works to a portable easel that clamps onto my big oak easel. The big oak easel holds a larger painting that takes way longer to complete while I do the small ones. When I want to resume working on the larger--wha-la--I just pop off the portable easel.
