Here's a little study of our local nature reserve. I really enjoy doing little landscape studies, having to simplify everything into patches of light and dark. I learn a lot about composition from them. It's helping plan the larger works a lot.

Sharing Secrets
5x4" acrylic on canvas board. SOLD
Here's another attempt at pears. They're an interesting subject, great curves and subtle colours. I'm pretty happy with my brushwork on this one. I'm trying to let go of the need to render everything in minute detail. Getting there!

Here's another little still life in acrylics. The highlights on the cherry tomatoes came out well here, I think.

Colourful Crowd
4x5" acrylic on canvas board. $30. Available here
I really love the way light bounces back off brightly coloured objects to create colourful shadows. I'm really enjoying these bright, vibrant arrangements at the moment.

Cornered Lemon
4x5" acrylic on canvas board. $30. Available here
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.
