Side Light
(20" x 30", oil on canvas)

Still in keeping with my desire to work tonally, this piece has a little more colour than the past few paintings I've presented. I have chosen to keep the reds subdued so they would not overwhelm this piece, preferring to let the soft light interpret the quiet moment.

Tonal Harmony
(22" x 28", oil on canvas)

Of late I’ve become more interested in atmosphere. My work usually needs a shot of colour for me to be satisfied, so working mainly with tone is an exciting challenge.

This painting builds on last week's piece. I’ve used the same palette, but I’ve tried to inject a sense of mystery and timelessness through choice of subject matter, dissolving edges and the very deliberate placement of each object.

Deux oignons espagnols
(24" x 24", oil on canvas)

It should come as no surprise that two of my favourite cooking ingredients are also among my favourite painting subjects. Kitchen staples, onions and garlic, offer this painter wonderful colours and textures to work with. Skin, peeled from one of the onions, gave me an additional shape to round out the composition.

Clementine, Unwrapped
(18" x 24", oil on canvas)

Like a flower opening, the rind of this fruit is easily peeled back to reveal a flawlessly formed clementine. A burst of colour, texture and taste delivered in a perfect little nature-wrapped package. I find this humbling.
