Here are my latest two 5 x 7 inch daily paintings, I am now only numbering the 5 x 7 inch, it just makes things easier to keep track of, as these are done with W&N Griffin oils they are dry and can be posted sooner than the other paintings.

Pear with cherry

I'm back! I had to take a few days off the daily paintings to catch up on some other work for a gallery, I will have more news on that in a few weeks time.

This pear and cherry painting is another one done with my new paints, it has a light coat of varnish.

I had some more good news this morning, an email to say one of my doughnuts paintings has been selected to feature as one of the images of the month for April on the Painters online website 

Jam Doughnuts

Jam Doughnuts

10 x 10 cm oil

SOLD

I really enjoyed painting the strawberry doughnuts the other day, so I thought I would have a go at jam doughnuts. great fun to paint.

Baby Pineapple

Baby Pineapple

15 x 15 cm (6x6 inch approx)

SOLD

This is my first ever painting of a pineapple, and I did find it quite tricky! as almost all of my daily paintings are painted from life rather than using photos I have avoided pineapples before as they are usually so big. This baby pineapple, the fruit part was only the size of an apple so it was great. It was very tasty as well,  it was eaten shortly after painting, Mum and I had half each.

This painting was done with W&N Artists oils on canvas board.

Doughnuts

Doughnuts

These 2 paintings are my entries for this weeks challenge on Dailypaintworks.com. the challenge was to paint a doughnut. they were a nice change to paint.

I have had a few days off the 5 x 7 inch daily paintings, I am using the time to catch up on some other work, but they will be back soon.

Blush pear with silver

SOLD

I got this great little goblet with a twisty stem off ebay last week, its quite small but it is another great prop for my paintings.

As I am now doing more paintings daily, I am only numbering the 5 x 7 inch ones, it just makes it easier for me to keep track of whats sold.
