I like painting plums, so I painted them again today.

Daily painting #155

Pomegranate with Pewter

5 x 7 inch oil

This was yesterdays painting, due to problems with Auctiva, the ebay listing site I use, I could not list it last night.

I know I keep on mentioning new paintings with my new paints, but I will be listing the first one in the next few days,  I have been waiting to see how they looked when dry, I will be varnishing the first few tomorrow.

Daily painting #150

Clementine with pewter

5 x 7 inch oil

SOLD

I used the pewter tankard again today, the composition of these last three paintings has been quite different for me, I usually have the whole of an object in the painting, I have been running out of smaller items so it will be good to paint more like this.

Daily painting #149

Pear with Pewter

5 x 7 inch oil

SOLD

I enjoyed painting the pewter tankard yesterday, so I used it again today. I switched around the lighting for this one so there was more of a reflection from the pear.

Daily painting #148

Red Delicious with Pewter

5 x 7 inch oil

SOLD

I have painted a few red apples before, but this is my first Red Delicious. The pewter tankard holds a pint, but sadly it was empty!

Dailt painting #131

Pewter Tankard with Clementine & Cranberry

5 x 7 inch oil

Click here to bid

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 #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.

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.

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.

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!
