Welcome to Grandma's Baked Delights Bakery... the county's best homemade yummies!


Grandma's warehouse is now full of pumpkins ready for the fall holiday sale.

Welcome to Grandma's Bakery... the crow reads.


Fruits of Fall Harvest... pumpkins and gourds galore!


Grandma's Fall Season's Quilts for sale. I have a bunch of ideas for more quilts but there's not enough space to show them all; so guests must go inside the house to see more designs.

Welcome to my latest work.
Here is Walter's big red barn loaded with crates of watermelons.
This season has produced a bumper crop!
Notice the cat on the roof.

Here he's loading up the trailer for delivery and going back for more watermelons.

The kids love to drop by for some free slices at the tasting station.

Close up pic of the boys and girls enjoying the sweet watermelons...
ahhh... the unforgettable leisure days of summer!

Grandpa knows best, he always picks the sweetest watermelon...
not necessarily the largest one.

Little girl and dad have selected their picks of the day.

These happy chickens enjoying their fills from the abundance of watermelon seeds and scraps.

Of course, the ever present gift shop in most of my paintings... it has many things on sale for those who love watermelon designs: Quilts, fashion, toys, home accessories and knick-knacks.

This boy is having a hard time convincing his pet goat to pull his cart of watermelons!

WALTER'S WATERMELONS

Brings back good memories of summer days gone by.

I hope you enjoy my latest work. Thank you!

Welcome to my blog and see my latest work. It is all about apples from the farm of Aunt Abby.

... and here's the Star of the show... Aunt Abby!!!

The Cidery. It too has the AA's Apples logo painted at the back facade.

Buckets of freshly picked big red delicious apples are being sorted out for delivery.

A stuffed straw mannequin of Aunt Abby welcomes buyers at the bakeshop. Check out the goodies from the apple farm... cider, juice, jams, wine, butter, and others.

You can almost smell the aroma of freshly baked apple pies, struddles, cakes, fritters, dumplings, etc.

Yummy apple candies in various dippings of caramel, with dark chocolate chunks & marshmallows, M&M's, sprinkles, peanuts, and coconut shreds.

Here's the Chef cooking up another batch of caramel for more apple candies.

The kids love to watch how apple candies are made. Meanwhile the cats love to chase each other up the apple tree.

Apple quilts for sale... and there are more quilts in the shop... all made by Aunt Abby from original designs created by Wilfrido.

This is the rustic shop-by-the-sea that I've been wanting to paint for a long time... finally it's done! I have collected so many cat/nautical ideas to be thrown in here but finally just used less than half as I run out of space to place them!

This is the Main Gallery... buyers are welcome to browse and shop to their hearts' delight!
I named this shop Capt. Kirby's and it has a website at www captkirby.com, but don't attempt to visit as it exists only in my painting!


They sell everything needed by the lobster catchers.
On SALE... brand new lobster traps for only $49.99 each! A great way to beat inflation.


Farther off are lobster boats... these are Capt.Kirby's best customers for new traps and buoys.

Here is Grandpa working on his ancient boat.

An eye-catching wood-carved watcher set high above the shop... a well-known landmark in this part of town.


Yes... we also sell boat paint! Any color can be mixed up in a jiffy.
The Master Wood-carver and family at work... creating more "Capt. Kirby" wooden figures, the shop's best seller.


Gray cat loves to lie down on cool cedars fresh off the lumber yard.

Everything in this big pile of nautical stuffs are on sale... except the cats!
Colorful handcrafted whirligigs and carvings beckon art lovers to come and buy.


True to Chinese proverb... colorful whirligigs in motion... bring in good feng shui to any garden.
A rare antique find... the sailor cat that eats a balance diet!


A close-up pic of the stuffs on sale... antique buoys, oars, decoy, and other goodies for the collectors.

More arts and crafts and seashells... fresh starfish are also available.

Capt. Kirby at the beach... one of the coolest summer decors for your beach house.
