Cornishware and lemons

/0 Comments/in /by

Ooooh, I have been enjoying this weather but it sends me into a panic with everything I want to paint coming on thick and fast. I’ll show you what I’ve been doing below but firstly, here’s a little one to take you into the weekend. I’m in summer mode I think.

So anyway, I’ve had a bit of a pash this week for Magnolia Stellata, a somewhat gorgeous example of which is growing in my neighbours garden. After a couple of days of coveting over the fence, I had permission to scrump. So I’ve done these two and since Jobbers is away, I’ve managed to finish these two, one of which is a monster, in the week! I have to admit to a bit of a pash for these Fired Earth tiles too and I found this lovely old toolbox in a local bric-a-brac shop. Now you know where my money goes.

Yes, ok, so the last one is Ranunculus but I slipped it in there for good measure.

Anyway, that’s my week done. Off to Waitrose for some weekend goodies since everyone’s coming home. Happy Mother’s Day all you heroine’s of the bedtime stories.

Clementine on tile

A while back, I stopped at the factory shop for Fired Earth tiles and just couldn’t resist a little purchase. I’ve got a plan to incorporate my new tiles into larger paintings so was just mucking about with this clementine against the smoky blue of the tiles.

Small oranges, red dish and tiles

The last of those little oranges, I think I’ve picked the tree clean! There are some sweetpeas bravely climbing up the wall but they need a little strong sun yet……..maybe in a few weeks. My eye is firmly on them.
Incidentally, I’ve just updated my workshop page with new dates. You can check them by clicking here.

Garlic and figs on tiles

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

I’m not sure how many variations on a theme can be done but I’m giving it my best! Anyway, this is the last for now…….probably. I feel the need for something new. Must go and look in the fridge. Hmmm. There’s only me home at the moment and not sure a dried up finger of parmesan and a half jar of mayonnaise is going to make a great painting. Time to raid some friends’ gardens methinks.

Figs on tiles

Excuse my absence last week but family matters are keeping me out of the studio lately. Anyway, prepare for a fig fest as my favourite fruit are plentiful and I’ve been coupling them with Iznik tiles.
