Shell 12 x 16 oil on panel (sold) Cherries & Pear 13 x 15 oil on panel (sold) I just delivered these two to Abend Gallery in Denver, CO. Gosh, I have so much to learn!

First time I posted these, the photos were way too big, but lost the nice comment from Jeff! You were right, Jeff, much too big and I can't figure out how to delete a photo without deleting the whole post, comments and all!
