GENTLE SOUL

I saw this beauty at my favourite bakery, she was sitting calmly while her owner was busy with other things. I loved how the light was shining against her.  This piece is very loosely painted, I love the messiness of her coat.

I am becoming hooked on painting still life.  I love that you can pick a favourite object and use it as a subject, I am a fan of bright coloured pottery and glass ware so I have a great assortment to choose from.

CARROTS AND TOMATOES

I absolutely love the colour of this bowl and when I lay the carrots in it.the colour just popped, then when I placed the tomatoes beside it  everything just came together...a perfect still life.

TOMATO BEAUTIES

SOLD

We were at the farmers market and there was a booth with the most amazing tomatoes...the colours were spectacular. At that moment I decided I would paint a fruit/vegetable still life which I have never done before. It took me much longer than usual to paint but I love the outcome.  I probably spent as much time studying the tomatoes as I did painting them.  

Cow 73 TANK

All of my yellows, reds and oranges got a workout today.  I did the sketching with a dark mauve, I like how the warms just pop against it. I used two brushes throughout this painting and a little paper towel to move the paint around in spots...lots of play.

Cow 72 KING OF EVERYTHING6

I started using a couple of transparent paints again, they are really nice to use for underpainting and then to mix with your other colours. I am trying not to make my darks to dark, I sometimes tend to do that. I am happy with this painting, I love the expression of the cow.

Loved painting these pigs, used to a very limited palette to achieve the look I wanted...loose strokes and I left the detail right until the very end.
