1630 Red on Red and Affordable Art Fair Dublin
9" x 12" oil on panel, unframed SOLD
Here' a dark and moody one for you and a hard one to photograph too, especially when the weather outside is grey and rainy, I've got it as close to the original as I can, I hope. This one is also available on Ebay so do hop on over and put a bid on it please! Christmas gift for someone dear, always appreciated - the gift of original art.
Hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying a few days of relaxation.
Here is our stand this morning, at the Affordable Art Show in Dublin, Ireland, with hubby in the spot light. Liza my eldest daughter is also on hand to support her dear ol' Dad ;) she's the one behind the camera!

1629 'An Apple Besides' SOLD
ebay
12" x 9" oil on panel , unframed SOLD
Another loose one painted with a palette knife, I'm trying really hard not to perfect things and hope that I may have many happy accidents ;) I'm loving stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new, I want to make my paintings have more energy and that something that makes them less than ordinary.
I'm guessing it has something to do with self confidence, and confidence in ones ability. I learn something new with every painting. I'm really inspired by browsing other artists blogs and web-sites and get so many ideas that kick start my own creative juices.

1628 Little Gourd
9" x 12" oil on panel, framed
Just finished a really tight still life which I found I wasn't really enjoying painting, so I thought that I would give myself an artist's 'bus-man's holiday' so I set this one up and with a large flat brush off I went and enjoyed painting this immensely, fast and loose with a bit of palette knife work too, so whatta you think?

1626 Flanked
9" x 12" oil on panel, framed
Well it's back to still lifes!
This colourful autumn leaf was found by my daughter and it has dried beautifully, if a bit fragile, I teamed it up with these two pretty pears that echo its colour palette.

Kai was wearing his new winter coat and walking to the playground in the autumn sunshine. He's off to the store today to buy a pair of 'welly' boots, which I hope will feature in my next painting!
