Cherry Branch


in frame
John brought this to our Wednesday still life painting group. It's from his garden! It's my favourite colour combo, red/orange with blue/green. I painted it on a board which, unlike canvas, hasn't any 'give' to it, so it changed my brushstrokes. Not good or bad, just different. Hmm.

The Painting Class


I often use watercolour at my Monday night figure painting session.  I enjoy painting the artists as well as the model to add context to the piece. I love drawing, and I miss it when I've been working in oil.

It's been a terrific challenge painting glass all week!  I thought I'd give these same flowers another shot before they wilt away.

First Kiss


I've really enjoyed painting watermelon this week, as well as glass.  You can never get enough practice painting glass.

Thought I'd continue exploring the watermelon theme.  Computer screens don't really like red, but that won't stop me from painting with it!

from seedless watermelon seeds...


The Daily Paintworks Challenge was to paint this from an upside down photo.  When I finished and flipped it right side up, my eyes sprung out of my head...Boing!!
