When I shop for pears, I like to see if I can get any with leaves still attached.  I spend a long time in the produce section searching for the right pears.

Abandoned

12" x 16"
Oil on Canvas

I have collected many bird nests from our cottage each season and they are amazing to paint.  Each one is different and can be made up of many materials.  Unfortunately I have found abandoned nests with egg shells inside or on the ground.

I love to paint glass with all it's colours and reflections.  This painting took more than one sitting to build up the luminous egg shells.

The Outsider

8" x 8"
Oil on Canvas

$100.00


This piece is painted on a gallery depth canvas.  Kiwi is not my favourite fruit to paint.  I found I was getting a bit finicky with the colours and trying to show the fuzziness of the skin.  I do like the end result.

On the Edge



Oil on canvas
6" x 8"

$75.00

 

Pears are a fruit that I can paint over and over and never tire of doing those organic shapes.  These two are perched upon an antique wood plane looking as if the one is about to push the other over the edge.
