Daily paintings update

I am sorry I have missed the last week of daily paintings, I spent most of the week in bed feeling rotten! coughing and shivering and aching all over.
Felling a bit better now. I am taking the next week, and over Christmas to catch up on some other works, and I will get back to the daily's after Christmas.
My small 10cm square paintings with Free easels are still available on ebay.

Daily painting #134

Pomegranate on cloth
5 x 7 inch oil

I just managed to get this one done today.

Thursday 1 December 2011

Daily painting #133

Pomegranate & Clementine
5 x 7 inch oil

I thought this Pomegranate and Clementine would look good together, the colours worked well and the clementine skin picked up a bit of red reflection from the Pom.
I usually google  my fruit combinations to see what comes up, so following on from my last posts Christmas theme  I found a Christmas party drink called Pomegranate crush. you can see the recipe here.

Daily painting #132

Blush Pear on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil

I bought this pear yesterday, its massive! it is the biggest pear I have had yet. the colour of it looks like one half has been sprayed green and the other red.

Dailt painting #131

Pewter Tankard with Clementine & Cranberry
5 x 7 inch oil

A bit of a Christmas theme to today's painting, as kids my sister and I would always get a Clementine or tangerine in our stocking from Santa, and the cranberries are just a classic christmas fruit.

Daily painting #130

Pomegranate & Cherry
5 x 7 inch oil

All reds for today, I like painting Pomegranates and cherries so this one was great for me, and I quite like the composition of the large and small fruit together.

Daily painting #129

Pear with Cherry and berries
5 x 7 inch oil

 A Conference Pear with Cherry and a few blueberries for today. I wasn't expecting any cherries for a while, but my Mum came home from shopping with a bag of them for me, so I had to paint one. The conference pears I have at the moment are quite a mix of colours and shapes and sizes, this one a sort of yellow ochre with greenish patches.

Tuesday 22 November 2011

Daily painting #128

Pomegranate & Pear
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

The Pomegranate is still looking good, so here it is again, this time with a conference pear. I don't think I have painted these two together since about the first week of my dailys.

Thursday 17 November 2011

Daily painting #125

Red & Green Apples
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
Some more Apples for today, the green apple is a Granny Smith and the red one is a Braeburn, I just did this one on the board, as I said yesterday with the cloth as well it looked to cluttered on a small canvas.

Wednesday 16 November 2011

Daily painting #124

Red Apple on cloth
5 x 7 inch

Today's painting is of a Braeburn Apple, I was originally planing to paint two apples but in the end I thought one on is own looked good, two made it look over crowded.

Daily painting #123

Pomegranate, Kiwi & Cherry
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
The Pomegranate again! this time with half a kiwi fruit and a cherry. I can count one one had the times I have painted a Kiwi fruit, I find it hard to get the colour just right, but I liked the combination of the reds and green in this painting.

Monday 14 November 2011

Daily painting #122

Pomegranate & Lime
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
This is such a nice coloured Pomegranate I just had to paint it again today, I have painted this combination before, but the other way around.

Sunday 13 November 2011

Daily painting #121

Pomegranate on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD

A Pomegranate for today's painting. I haven't painted a Pom for a while as I haven't been able to get a nice one, and as I paint all the dailys from life rather than using photos I have to use whatever I can get. This one has a lovely rich red colour to it with hints of yellow and pink in places.

Granny Smith Apple


Granny Smith Apple
10 x 10 cm oil

Here is another 10 cm square painting, I am selling them with a free easel, I have taken care to paint the edges so they look tidy on an easel, or you could frame if you prefer, I always make sure to leave enough space around the edges for framing.

Daily painting #120

Granny Smith apple

Daily painting #119

Apple and Pear
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

I painted an Apple and Pear similar to this one for #113, that one is on its way to Tokyo. I have had some requests for another one similar, so here it is.
I have also been painting some more 10cm sq canvas boards today, and painting all the mini display easels.

Tuesday 8 November 2011

Daily painting #118

Pewter with Cherries & berries
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
I thought my pewter tankard would go well with these small fruits, the pewter is just shiny enough to reflect a little colour from the cherries, but not so shiny that it would reflect everything around.
I have been busy tonight, priming more canvas boards, it only seems like yesterday that I did the last lot. I like the canvas to be quite smooth, so I take time to prime, sand, and so on.

Pear & Cherry

SOLD
Free display easel included.

Daily painting #117

Pewter Tankard with Clementine & Cherry
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
I got back to the dailys today after a couple of days of other things. This pewter tankard is another one of mum's finds in Ruthin, its a bit bashed in places, but it has a great hammered texture.

Thursday 3 November 2011

Cherry and berries


Cherries & berries
10 x 10 cm oil
SOLD
I enjoy painting these small canvas boards, and I am now selling them with a free display easel, I have taken care whilst painting the edges, so they look tidy on the easel, this is the second one I have done this week, the first one sold within 12 hours of listing. The next 10cm sq painting that I will be listing, is of a pear with a cherry, I also filmed that one, so I will post as soon as I have put the video together.

Wednesday 2 November 2011

Daily painting #116

Pear, Cherry & berries
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
A Comice pear with cherry and blueberries for today, I think the colours of these three go really well together and the variation of sizes works well as a group.
I am planning on painting clementines again tomorrow, but not sure what to put with them yet.

Tuesday 1 November 2011

Daily painting #115

Lemon, Lime & Clementine
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

A citrus trio for today, this is the first time I have painted these three all together, and it took me a while to arrange them to fit ok in a small painting, I think it has turned out well though for my first go at this trio.

Monday 31 October 2011

Daily painting #114

Lemon and Lime on cloth
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
I had a weekend off from painting, as it was Mum's and my birthdays last week, so we went for a meal on Saturday night and I had a lazy day on Sunday.
Back to painting today, so here are two of my favourite fruits, Lemon and Lime.
I have also been working on some small 10cm square canvas boards today, will post pics soon.

Friday 28 October 2011

Daily painting #113

Apple and Pear
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
We have got lots of apples in the house at the moment, we only have two very small trees, but they do produce a lot of fruit, and they are a nice red colour.
I also picked some more strawberries from the greenhouse today, they are only little ones, but its great to still be picking them this late in the year.

Thursday 27 October 2011

Daily painting #112

Clementine
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
I stuck with the fruit on cloth again for today's painting, but the cloth is a bit plainer for this one. I think this is only the third time a clementine has featured in one of my daily paintings, I don't seem to use orange paint much at all, so this was a nice change.

Wednesday 26 October 2011

Daily painting #111

Red Apple on cloth
7 x 5 inch
SOLD
Sorry I have missed a couple of days painting this week, we had family visiting. This Apple is one from our garden, the cloth is the same one as the other day to match up with the pear.

Sunday 23 October 2011

Daily painting #110

Pewter with Pears
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
Another Plum painting today, The little pewter tankard is one that Mum found one day in a little second hand place in Ruthin, its a bit bashed up, but its a good size and it has a nice hammered texture.

Friday 21 October 2011

Daily painting #109

Plum Trio
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

I have only painted Plums a few times, I tend to overlook them in the shops for some reason. This set up is the same as I did for figs a week or so ago, and the lighter background work's well with the rich red colour. the background is Paynes grey and white mix.

Thursday 20 October 2011

Daily painting #108

Comice Pear on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD
Comice Pear on cloth, I have done a similar painting to this before, but last time it was a red pear, so here is the green version.
I have some Plums for the next painting, and I also hope to get another video filmed in the next few days.

Wednesday 19 October 2011

Daily painting #107

Comice Pears
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

A pair of Comice Pears for today, I haven't painted Comice pears before, they are very similar in colour to conference pears, but they are more short and round in shape.

Monday 17 October 2011

Daily painting #106

Lime on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD
A Lime for today, to match up with yesterdays Lemon on cloth.
I have another variety of Pear to paint tomorrow, I didn't know there were so many different Pears availabe until I started the daily paintings.

Sunday 16 October 2011

Daily painting #105

Lemon on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD

Just a Lemon for today. I remember at the start of these daily paintings I didn't like painting lemons at all, I now find them to be one of my favourite fruits to paint, it must be all the practice!. I think I will do a matching cloth with a Lime next.

Thursday 13 October 2011

Daily painting #104

Choc chip & Cherry Cupcake
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
My second cupcake for today's painting, this time I added some choc chips on the top. I think I will have to get some baking done and make some different cakes.

Wednesday 12 October 2011

Daily painting #103

Three Little Figs
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
I Thought these Figs were such a nice colour and shape they would look good on their own, I think it has turned out ok, and the lighter background worked better than my usual dark colour.

Tuesday 11 October 2011

Daily painting #102

Charlie's Apple with Pewter
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
Today's painting is called Charlie's Apple with Pewter, Its hard to get apples with leaves on them if you don't have your own apple tree, so I have to thank Charlie from John Jones & Son Butchers, Ruthin for getting me a few. Thanks Charlie!


Sunday 9 October 2011

Daily painting #101

Red Pear with Fig
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
For today's painting I had a red william pear and a fig, I haven't painted many figs as I don't like to eat them, but they were on offer at the supermarket, so they will just be painted. They are a nice colour, so different to my usual fruit.

Thursday 6 October 2011

Daily painting #100

Cherry Cupcake
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD
My 100th daily painting! I thought I should do something to mark my 100th so I got some cupcakes and added the cherry on the top. I haven't painted a cupcake in oils before, the case was a bit tricky, I am used to painting cupcake cases in acrylic, this was fun to paint, so I may have to do some more cakes.

Wednesday 5 October 2011

Daily painting #99

Red Williams Pear on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD
Another fruit on cloth for No.99 , the trim on this one is slightly different from last time, I am enjoying doing more detailed elements in the daily paintings, and I think the lace cloth works well with a single fruit.

Monday 3 October 2011

Daily painting #98

Cherries on cloth
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD

I love painting cherries! so here is another trio, I am so glad I am still able to get nice cherries, I am sure as winter comes nearer they will be harder to get, and more expensive.
I can hardly believe I will be doing my 100th daily painting this week, not sure what it will be yet, but I couldn't have got this far without all my brilliant eBay customers, so Thank you!

Saturday 1 October 2011

Conker Video

Conker
10 x 10 cm oil
SOLD

hope you enjoy watching!

This is my third video so far, and I have got this one down to just less than 4 minutes,  The conker is from a tree in the village that I used to go to as a kid to gather conkers, brought back good memories of throwing sticks up at the tree to get more down.

Wednesday 28 September 2011

Daily painting #97

Pear and Cherry on cloth
7 x 5 inch oil
SOLD
I don't paint this cloth to often, so it came out again today for this painting, I enjoy painting more detailed items, I was just going to have the pear on its own for this one, but as I had some cherries I just had to add one.
I have had quite a busy day today, I also made a new painting video, I just need to edit all the clips together so I will post it very soon.

Tuesday 27 September 2011

Daily painting #96

Apple and Pear
5 x 7 inch oil
SOLD
Another Apple and Pear for today's painting, the last time I painted these fruits together it was a red pear and a green apple, so here they are the other way round. I think tomorrows painting will be another pear with a cherry.
