I am currently working on a little series of still lifes for my home. Here’s a little vibrant apple fro the collection 🙂

Oranges and a silk drape
I had forgotten just how much I enjoy painting still-lifes! More of these to come I am sure. Here’s one in acrylic I painted over the weekend for my kitchen. I love the simplicity of this composition. And I love the way the black (the queen of all colours ) makes all the other colours vibrate. After I photographed this I gave it a heavy coat of boat varnish to protect it from the usual kitchen splashes! This also caused the colours to jump out even more.


Fruit
Here’s a snippet of a very large painting I am currently working on. I love working with these vibrant fruit colours, makes me happy! 🙂

A bowl for delicious pears!
It is Autumn and stormy out there. I am working indoors decorating bowls and platters while the wind howls around the studio. These make popular Christmas gifts, so I am making and painting a collection ready for the gallery in December. Here’s one from the collection – a deep bowl for pears.
