8x8" - original oil painting on 3/4"deep panel

I'm sooo inspired by oil painting lately! I work in watercolour a lot (because I teach beginners watercolour) and I love it however, the thick gooeyness of oil is super fun to work with.

I didn't know that painting pickles in a mason jar was so much fun! A few colour onions have befriended the crunchy bunch.

A little snack and a deep breath of fresh air. Ahh... summertime. It's time to sit down with a cup of tea and a crisp apple. And enjoy a painting of the same. ; ) Heehee.

I used a photo from the generous Sarah Sedwick again (thanks Sarah!) and I changed it again too. This time I added an extra apple slice instead of the creamer. The apples are one big happy family.

These cherries are checking out their reflections! 

There was originally a spoon in this photo reference, but I took it out and added cherries to match the lovely reds in the jelly. Thanks to Sarah Sedwick for her generosity - she's always supplying awesome photos to work from.

me too please

This little yellow cup is my new favourite still life object. So cute! These flowers from my garden sat perfectly in it. You can check out the time lapse video of me painting this one on my Instagram.

I got to indulge in my favourite colour... again! Opera Pink (yummy), which I floated onto the page next to some warm reds. Then, all those cool greens and blues in the jar, those floaty bits, so abstract and fun to paint. Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Backlit painting of two pink flowers, and a little friend who is a bit heartbroken... he ended up on the sidelines. But the two big friends are looking out for him. : )

People reading - it's such a great painting topic and has been through art history. I think because the reader is so involved and concentrating on reading, that it makes for good body language. The big yellow coat was an added bonus.

More and more I realize how much adding people's hands helps with expression. In this piece, they kind of mirror each other. One of my pieces for my ongoing "In Conversation" series.

Painting this model's portrait was a very zen experience for me. It was early on a Sunday morning and as I painted, I listened to a fellow artist with not only a British accent, but also a buttery voice. It was just wonderful. I kinda zoned out while I relied on all of my past painting experience to get it right. Very happy with this one (and it's pair posted next!)
