Egg for 1


6*6 oil on panel

I painted three times this week, that's a record for me. See if I can beat that record next week.

I tried something again that was fun, I kinda get tired of apples. This was a challenge everything so subtle hardly any darks and trying to get the colour of the shadow was tough. I didn't think I pulled it off. so I took it down stairs and left it till next day and asked the children if they could figure out what it was they were able to tell so I was Happy.

Apple and Pear


6*8 oil on panel
I haven't had much luck with pears, their shape, colour, I don't know what it is. so I tried an asian pear see what would happen.

I like the shadow play I got the idea from Carol Marine
She has this great way with paint. I have got a lot of good Ideas from her painting style.

Three Apples


6*8 oil on panel
For the past two weeks my painting wasn't that great, it didn't matter what I did I couldn't get them out. My wife says they are learning ones or as in the the case of Doug Swinton that's a frisbee.
