Some more fruit from our garden, we have had a great crop of Raspberries again this year, and Dad is still picking the Blackcurrants there are so many! I used some of the Blackcurrants this weekend to make some Blackcurrant vodka, not sure what it will taste like but it should be great by Christmas.

Raspberry and Blackcurrant Cider

5 x 7 inch oil

SOLD

For today's painting I used the last of the Raspberries and Blackcurrants from the garden, and my little Cider bottle came in handy again for this one. I haven't tryed it yet, but I bought a bottle of raspberry and black cider the other day.

The next painting will have Strawberries and Grapes.

5 x 7 inch Oil

SOLD

Another Forelle Pear for today's painting, with Blackcurrants this time, the Blackcurrants are from our garden, we only have three blackcurrant bushes but they have produced a mass of fruit this year, I hope to get a least one more painting of them done before they finish.

Daily painting #44

Apple and Blackcurrant

5 x 7 inch oil on canvas board

SOLD

This is my first Apple to feature in a daily painting, and also the first time for Blackcurrants. I don't like using black paint much except for backgrounds, the blackcurrants were painted with a mix of ultramarine blue and burnt sienna with just a touch of red mixed in a few. The Apple is a Granny Smith. My white cloth needs a good wash after this painting as the blackcurrants leaked a bit of juice onto it.
