Daisy


I wanted to try something I had never really attempted before, a very small flower, I should have painted it first but I got stuck on my darks first and the background, I knew that it would be hard to do, I that leave the center of attention till last and I guess from now on I should battle the fear and just do it. I liked painting the blue bottle and I think that I would paint something like this again.

Strawberries


Our family picked a couple of Icecream buckets worth of strawberries this Summer. I promised them last year that we would do it. The children loved the idea of all those strawberries lined up just for them to pick, and I told them that the front desk weighs you before you go in, and on the way out to see if you have had too many strawberries. They believed me untill we got to the farm and then they knew it was one of Dads jokes.
I decided to paint some strawberries to remind me of that event, here they are, I haven't painted for at least a month and a half so I'm a bit rusty. I just noticed that I had a white space on the painting, urrgh, I went to fill it in and I think I flattened it too much, oh well I guess that happens when you play around with the painting the next day, I just have to take a photo of my painting as soon as I have finnished to see where I have white spots next time.
