$85+s/h
I decided to underpaint one of my boards and had my brush loaded with orange paint, I tested the color on on old piece of board and when I  put the brush down....there was a painting!! I wish they all could be as easy as that, often a set up can take 30 minutes or more! I loved painting this, I think these spontaneous ones are best!

Pair of Pears

6"x6" oil on board
SOLD

I accidently deleted  post...sorry but here it is again!
This is one of the latest bowls that my husband made, it has a dry oatmeal glaze so has no shine to it. I thought it would be interesting to paint...it was...but also difficult to try and get that clay look! I liked the green pears with all the neutral colors around  them.

Posing Pear

6"x6" Oil on board

Another pear! I liked the leaf that was still attached to this one and used the same limited palette as the last painting...cad red med, cad yellow light, ultramarine blue and titanium white. I have found I can make most colors I want with these three, that is not to say I don't use others...it usually depends on how I feel when I start a painting!

I haven't had much time to paint this last week...I have had my Gallery open every day for our exhibition and there has been a lot of people through...good sales too!! Thanks to everyone! This is one of my small silk paintings from the exhibition. I have spent more time on oils this last few years...silk painting is completely different and makes a nice change!

This is a street we wandered down on our way to Bondi Beach while on holiday in Sydney earlier this year...the day was bright and sunny and the shadows and yellow house caught my eye. Just love shadows!!

This is the last one of the white rose for my exhibition...it's painted  on gallery wrapped canvas. I was pushed for time and didn't think I was going to finish it ...a wee bit stressful!!
