Time for a bit of a change! I like the difference in the size and shape of these bottles. I love the blue with the green and the marbles too.  To top it off they are standing on my glass palette...my favorite thing to use when painting still life. So it really is... all about glass!!

This is the last in this cotton series for a while, I found a set of plastic colored thimbles, and crochet hooks so I will have more to come later.  I do have fun setting these subjects up, it's almost like being a set designer for a stage production!!

Neat as a Pin

Another for my cotton series! There will be a few more to come in between other subjects. I loved painting the colored pins...I think this subject is one of my favorites, probably because I have good memories of when I used to sew all the time... and that is another form of creativity!!

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!

This weeks entry to the DPW challenge. What am I thankful for? There are a lot of things I'm thankful for, this is one of them! I was given a dahlia cutting from a special neighbour I used to live  next door to. This is one of the buds from that plant!!

Xmas Exhibition Paintings

                                     

                      Royal Spoonbills                                 Little Shag                  Estuary Morning Light

                             

I have been working on paintings for two exhibitions next month. These three, 12x12in are the first to leave my studio! They will be showing in the Quay Gallery Christmas sale opening on  the 1st Dec.

All paintings in the exhibition are 12x12in. 

I decided to have a bit of a theme and because I live so close to an Estuary I have painted pretty much what I see each day!! These are my favorite coastal birds!

2015 Calendar

My calendar for 2015!!  "Fun with Food Paintings" I DID have fun setting up and painting these! I have not ordered a big amount  because I'm not sure how many will sell. If you would like to buy one, you can email me and I will send you a paypal invoice.

I still love painting my cottons and no doubt I will do more when the mood strikes me! I did a graphite and pastel drawing as a study last year, with the thought of painting it later...so here it is!

I like setting up these reels, sometimes it takes nearly as long as it does to paint them...I never realised there are so many different ideas with pins, needles and thimbles!!
