Annual Peach Challenge

7″X5″ Oil on board

Every year I seem to need to torture myself by trying to paint peaches. Maybe if I painted them every day for a week or two, like Julian Merrow-Smith, I would eventually get it right. As it is, I fuss and worry at it for an hour… [...]

January Window Plants

5″X7″ Acrylic on board

I may have to stop calling myself a Daily Painter. The best I seem to manage at the moment is 1-3 a week.

Amarilii
are always cheering at this time of year. I bought some primulas in the
Market yesterday too, maybe I will… [...]

Artisan Market

8″X5″ Pen on paperDay 2 at the artisan market was no better than day 1 for me. It was a learning experience and if I ever do anything like that again I will be sure to take some more inexpensive items, get some greeting cards printed perhaps. There was… [...]

7″X5″ Oil on board

7″X5″ Acrylic on boardNot a great painting day. I decided that I had been doing too many paintings from photographs and that I needed to do a still life. However, I think this is one I should have saved for the oils. Also I should have given more thou… [...]

Apple & Pear

7″X5″ Acrylic on boardA bright but cold day today. The temperature only got above 10 C for about an hour at midday. Fortunately I only had two sides of storm windows to paint, so I managed to finish. We will put them up next weekend and then I willl c… [...]

Squash & Jug

5″X7″ Oil on board

Sorry about the bad photograph. I finished this late and had to use artificial light. The white balance can be adjusted but there is no way to get rid of the reflection.
I am not sure what kind of squash this is, some kind of Hub… [...]

Acorns

5.5″X8″ Mixed media on paper

The parking lot is littered with these things and they present quite a hazard to pedestrians who walk under the trees as they fall.
