I really enjoyed painting the bright colours in this little picture. I wanted a warm, light feeling. I'm really happy with the shapes the shadows create.

Surrounded Pear
4x5" acrylic on canvas board. $30. Available here
Another little composition with a pear and some radishes. Trying to capture the mottled green and brown colours on the pear is a real challenge. So far I've been simplifying it which seems to work relatively well, but I have a few other ideas in mind I might try out in future paintings.

Pear and Radishes
4x5" acrylic on canvas board. $18. Available here
I did a series of little still life paintings the other night, playing with different coloured underpaintings. But it was late and I forgot to write down which was which, so in the end I haven't learned much from it, other than that I quite enjoy painting while watching tv, and I really love these 4x5" canvas boards.

Lemon and Radishes

I have discovered a tv show I quite enjoy, a bit unusual for me as I normally lack the patience for them- they just take too much commitment. You mean I have to watch 10+ episodes to find out what happens...? That's a lot of tv, you know. I could be painting. But this one is just too good to walk away from, so I've been setting up small still lifes on my desk and trying to paint while watching it.

Apple and Radishes
21 November 2015.
6x6 inches, acrylic on canvas board. $40. Place a Bid
I love painting radishes. Their squat, round shape and the bold pink colour against their bright green leaves makes for a wonderful subject. And I love eating green apples, so this was a fun still life to paint. I was eating the other half of the apple as I painted!
