White peonies 2

Phew, my studio is like a furnace so I decamped to the kitchen to paint these and made use of the skylight. I really like the light coming from above so I may have to make a permanent move and send the family to live in the studio.

Figs on a blue shelf

I had to revert to my favourite when I saw them in a shop yesterday. What is it about figs??! Love ’em
Feeling a bit stressed now as I’m heading back to Pakistan soon so it’s a race to get everything done beforehand. That interferes with studio time which I don’t like one little bit. Hey ho. The shelf isn’t wonky on the painting – just a rushed photo!

HP sauce

Here’s a mate for yesterday’s painting, both done very quickly as a warm-up, getting back into the groove after the festivities. Getting back into the saddle takes a while. I fancied some plein-air today but even though the rain’s gone, the light is pretty flat.

Figs and soup bowl

I’m a bit behind with my ITery, haven’t had a chance to load photos and all that jazz so here’s one I made earlier. Back off to Cumbria now so may not be able to post for a few days. I’ve been painting mackerel in the studio today which pongs something wicked. I’d leave the door open to air but I fear it might attract the local feline population. I’m hoping to return next week to a somewhat fresher studio. Note to self – must paint faster!

Figs and planter

On my shopping trip, I found this lovely stone planter which I thought would be a great challenge to paint. Still had the figs though……….hate waste!

Damsons and…..?

I’m still on my damson ride but today I picked these apples which hang over the garden wall of the farmhouse next to us. I think they are an ornamental crab apple but what do I know? I’m no Monty Don.
Still suffering from technical glitch so email me if it interests you.

Mushrooms

I think I’m losing my marbles. I completely forgot to post yesterday’s painting. Anyway, the subject matter is going into a bowl of pasta later on this evening as I’m catching up with a long lost friend whilst Jobbers is in Cumbria.
Tech glitches still abound so if interested in this painting please email me. First come as they say..

Lemons and bowl

Welcome to all my new blogee friends who signed up to join me when I met them at Patchings at the weekend. Lovely to have you aboard. My very, very exciting news is that I won three awards there including The Artist purchase prize chosen by non other than the amazing Ken Howard (bit of a fan, did you guess?). You can see the painting that I won with here https://www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk/TALP/TALP_Exhibition/gallery_view.php?Ref=%3F461_1&Entrant=%3F54febc724ad0f
Another exciting day tomorrow so make sure you tune in!
