An entry for the DPW Weekly Challenge on the theme of Foil, using a humble apple. I love the 'fractured' look of the
reflections. I may well do another of these!

Blue Skies Ahead
5x7" acrylic on canvas board. $40. Available here
I don't think I can ever get bored of painting clouds! Whether they're light and fluffy or dark and stormy, they're endlessly fascinating.

Oranges and Sprouts
5x7" acrylic on canvas board. $40. Available here
Sprouts and orange slices on a floral patterned cloth- the same one used in my Green Jug painting a while ago. I really like the excitement it adds to the arrangement! (Speaking of, I submitted the Green Jug painting to the monthly DPW contest for December- winners are anounced on the 8th, so I have my fingers crossed for that...)

The Fountains At Night
6x6" acrylic on canvas board. $40. Available here
There are several little fountains in the town centre- a group of little jets of water, springing up from the pavement. At night they're lit by coloured spotlights, giving them a beautiful glow, and they reflect wonderfully on the wet ground. This was a real challenge to paint and I'd like to return to the subject at some point, maybe on a larger scale so I can show them in more detail!

The Town Centre At Christmas
5x7" acrylic on canvas board. $40. Available Here
This is another of our town's Christmas trees, this one is on a main shopping street. I had to exaggerate the height of the buildings to make the composition balanced, because it really towers over everything otherwise!

Christmas Lights
6x8" acrylic on canvas board, $45. Available Here
Several of the main roads in town have been decked out with colour-changing canopy lights- they look fantastic! I really enjoyed wandering around and seeing all the decorations against the dark sky- I don't usually go out in the evening so it was a lot of fun! There was a great atmosphere in town, too- lots of people out shopping, or stopping in a sheltered spot for a chat.
