# 116 Little Anna by Lynne Clarke


5x7" acrylic on canvas $85
to purchase contact artsnaksonline@gmail.com or







Voluptuous application of paint, splendid color with reddy purple lights in the black background and deep yellow in the wall coloring. Anna is truly a work of art, a little beauty. And you'll love the paint work on her silly little collar, all furled up at the side, and in the ruffles -- smidges of light and depth of yellow in the shadows and hints of folds. Shadows at the edge of her collar emphasize the delicacy of her flesh, alluring skin tones hinting of secrets and romance.

#106 Fruit in Garnet Glass Bowl by Lynne Clarke


8x10" acrylic on canvas $85
to purchase, contact artsnaksonline@gmail.com or






The dark greens and the deep red glass remind me of my grandmothers and long ago days in their dining rooms, when people had formal dining rooms with starched white tablecloths, and colored glassware, and dark rooms for visiting...

#105 Fruit Compote by Lynne Clarke


8x10" acrylic canvas $95
to purchase, contact artsnaksonline@gmail.com or






This piece reminds me of my grandmother who loved those blues and incredible glassware. She didn't care too much for the plums and purples, but I do, and I like them in that fantastic milky blue blown glass bowl. How did they do that?

#104 Immy with Blue Eyes by Lynne Clarke


5x7" acrylic on canvas $85
to purchase, contact artsnaksonline@gmail.com or






Immy doesn't look exactly like this now, but I think she will as she gets older. She's really so cool and so funny and wonderful. This painting is a reflection of all the cool and interesting things I see in her, and have since she was a little girl. She looks a lot like her mom in some ways too.

#103 Candle and Glass on Table by Lynne Clarke


5x7" acrylic on canvas $85
to purchase, contact artsnaksonline@gmail.com or






I love glasses like this, and I adore candle holders out of clear glass that are shaped and ridged like this one - - and candle light. This piece feels very romantic to me, and sort of edging back in time with a softness that makes me feel peaceful and content.
