Pink Daisies

Drawing #34

Graphite and pastel
Daily Paintworks FB pick of the day
 

These pink African Daisies grow in my garden and flower most of the year. They brighten up my studio even if they are only in a tin can! I had these sitting on the bench with strong sunlight coming from behind, with no thought of drawing them! I noticed  the way the  shadow  leads your eye up to the flowers...today's drawing done!!

I had another day of not knowing what to paint! I went to the supermarket instead, hoping I would think of something by the time I returned home. It worked! I bought a bag of licorice allsorts and decided that was it.  I didn't arrange these...I tipped some onto  the lid of my turps tin ( it's clean) and painted them as they were! 

 

Heirloom Tomatoes

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

I am still on the food trail!  I bought these heirloom tomatoes at the Farmers Market and after searching for something to set them up with, I spied this brushed silver tin  in  my studio that has a lavender scented candle  inside....that was it!! I liked the grey tones with just a little color.
