Watermelon Slice in Oils

I am really happy with this one. I decided to paint the watermelon at an angle and I love the 3d effective that I created.

Gala Apple 1 in oils

I was in the fruit shop the other day and as I was standing in the queue to pay I noticed a display of gala apples.  I don't normally buy gala apples (I prefer Pink Lady's) but this particular apple caught my eye as it still had a leaf attached to it. So of cause I had to buy it so that I could paint it.

Snack Time in oils

I am really happy how this one turned out.  It took me a while to find the right position for the pear slice but it worked out well in the end.

You want believe it but is has been pouring with rain here again.  Not a good start to autumn.  I got drenched this morning walking back to the car after shopping  - I did have an umbrella but it did  not help much with the wind blowing.  Hopefully the weather will settle down and we will get  good weather for autumn,

Sensation Pear in oils

I enjoyed painting this one.  The pear was rather yummy too.   I have only seen these pears in Woolworths -  neither Coles or the fruit shop seem to have them.  They are so bright and colourful and that is what caught my eye when buying other vegetables in Woolworths.

Poppies in oils

I felt like painting some flowers  for a change so I  painted these poppies.  Love their bright  colours.

We have been having weird weather again.  Been pouring with rain here for the last two days. Fortunately I don't live by any streams or rivers but other areas of South East Queensland are being affect by  floodings again.    Hopefully this will be last heavy rains we have for a while.

Tropical Island in oils

I had fun painting this one.  Could imagine myself on holiday there.  Nice and peaceful and sunny.  We have been having a strange summer.  February is usually our  hottest month but so far it has been much cooler than normal.    Raining here at the moment and the weather prediction is for more rain for the rest of the week.  At least everything is nice and green.

Fruit Platter in oils

I had fun painting this one.  Painting the grapes was interesting - was easier just to paint one grape at a time.  The peach is the Golden Queen variety that I mentioned in an earlier post . I can only buy them from the local fruit shop - not to sure how much longer they will be in season  but they are delicious
