Araucans & Cornish

6" x 8"

Oil on Linen Panel
SOLD

The title of this blog might raise a smile amongst those of a certain age who remember a Benny Hill sketch . . .

To accommodate this composition I worked on a slightly larger picture plane than I normally do for these blog pieces.I love the colour of the Araucan Eggs and they are fun to paint. In the interest of greater colour harmony have begun to limit my palette. For this piece I used only cerulean blue, cadmium yellow light, burnt sienna and white.

Hot Stack

7" x 5.5"
Oil on Linen

SOLD

Green can be an awkward colour to work with. While I continue to dither with my entry into finally producing some landscape paintings I have been practising green colour mixing while using it in Still Life set ups it in an attempt to create a dramatic effect. The irony for me has been that the weather has been so hot and sunny this summer that the English countryside has most of the time taken on an appearance of anything but English . . .

I am now four months into my vestibular rehabilitation therapy which is challenging but never the less working - I get more good days when I am able to work but I still need to lean on things . . .
