It has been quite a while since I have taken part in a Daily Paintworks challenge...but this week I had the perfect subject!  Even though it's black and white it's actually painted with three colors.The old key belonged to a shed in a previous house we owned but I have no idea where the chain came from!!

Back to flowers again!! We have a waterlily pond in town and  I always take some photos when they are in bloom. To me they are the star of the water garden...so delicate and tranquil floating on the surface of the water among the big bright green leaves. Another of my favorite flowers!! I love the way this is in shadow.

These were some of the last lemons and limes off my trees this season. I love the fresh colors of citrus fruit and of course green and violet are favorite colors of mine!! I sat these on my printer in front of the window and really liked the way the strong sunlight fell across them!

I find it helpful to take a break and paint a few small ones when I am painting bigger work....it's    good to mix things up, it keeps the boredom at bay!   This is my small lot for last month  Blue Thimble, Evening Softness, Waterlilies and Mini Pumpkins  (Sold)...might aim for five this month!!

Had time to squeeze a small painting in this week! I have always loved waterlilies, these are in a pond at Clive Square near town and always look beautiful when they are blooming. 

I am over half way through my exhibition paintings...whew!!! It has been a mission, I think I prefer painting smaller work...up to 12"x16."

My painting has been on the backburner for the last few months. We moved house last year and have only just finished renovating! This is a recap of my paintings in January...all four of them!! Two have sold, so it's not all bad! I will be painting bigger over the next few months for an exhibition later in the year....I love painting my small ones and they have become  an important part of my daily life so I will still fit them in as time permits!!

Sew Ready

6"x6" Oil on gessoboard

$90 + shipping

SOLD

My first painting for 2015!! I managed a small one to start the year. This is another of my ongoing cotton series, most of the others have sold! I was going to cut back on my smaller works this year and concentrate on larger ones...I don't think this is going to happen, I still enjoy painting small they are fun and it's such good practice so I  will do them as well!

Chilli Peppers

8"x6" Oil on gessoboard

SOLD

I am still on the food theme...these chillies were so beautiful and fresh...had to paint them!  Again I liked the shadows!!

I used three colors and white for this... because I use neutral mat board for backgrounds I find this way I can usually mix the gray I want!
