Contemporary Abstract Still Life Eggplant Painting "ONE NOTE (A.K.A. EGGPLANT JAZZ)" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

Musical instruments and symbols have informed my paintings throughout my career. I thought is was a good time to have it re-surface in my "Window Within a Window" series. And because I am known for a sense of humor, I wanted to combine the two.

What are your reactions to this funky painting? Isn't an egg plant a fun veggie to play with? Enjoy!

Recently a 7 year old asked, "Is that a fairy house?" Of course it is! :)

My “Windows into Your Imagination” series will be featured in the new Silver Street Fine Art Gallery opening Sat., June 25^th in beautiful Lake City, CO, which is an old silver mining town. Gallery is open seasonally from June 25-September 24^th. All featured paintings will be available for sale.

When do You Quit?

Why am I asking, “When do you quit?” Recently, I have been captivated by Elizabeth Gilbert’s book “Big Magic,” where she talks about fear and living a creative life. (BTW, I highly recommend this book.)
