Pomegranate and Orange

Pomegranate & Orange

15 x 15 cm oil

sold

I have been painting a lot with dark backgrounds the last few weeks, so back to lighter ones for a bit.

This is the first time I have painted a slice of orange, so after painting this one I also did a small 10cm sq orange slice, it will be on ebay in the next day or so.

Another Tomato painting for tonights listing. I am finding tomatoes quite fun and quite challenging to paint well, the skin is so smooth and the colour is so even and the light reflects all over the place on them. Fast becoming a fave to paint is the little water droplets, but I still need to do more to get them just right.

I haven't done a Pom in a while as I couldn't find a nice looking one until now. I liked the nice crown on the top of this one.

I made the shortlist!

I have been trying to master painting water droplets, and these tomatoes on the vine were a great subject for me to try. I am quite happy with the results for one of my new attempts, and looking forward to painting more drops.

Pewter with Raspberries

Pewter with raspberries

15 x 15 cm oil

Sold

These were the first raspberries this year that were picked from our garden. Raspberries are quite a fiddle to paint at first, and these are the fist ones I have painted this year I think. I am finding it a bit tricky to get the colour of them spot on, for these I used Cad red deep & Perm Alizarin Crimson.

I will be painting more raspberries soon as we have loads of them.

I thought I should do a few larger paintings, so here is the first one. three Packham pears.

As I had this cloth pinned up after the apple painting, I changed its folds a bit and used it again for this pear. The pear is a Packhams pear.

Red Apple on cloth

Red Apple on cloth

15 x15 cm oil

Sold

I am really enjoying painting cloths at the moment so here is another one, the cloth takes a while to set up to get the folds looking good, I have used a cardboard box for this set up, the cloth was pegged around the edges and pushed inside to get the folds in the background and the apple just sat nicely into it.
