Duos: Peach
(10" x 14", oil on canvas)

Another small format, this one a slight horizontal, which gives me more freedom of composition than my usual 12” squares.

Cherry Tumble

(12 x 24", oil on canvas)

Generally, composition dictates format, but here, the horizontal canvas proved to be the inspiration for this piece. I like the back-and-forth play of horizontal movement — the light moving across the canvas from left to right, while the cherries tumble out of the jar in the opposite direction, from right to left.

Complements
(20" x 30", oil on canvas)

One of the most important colour theories I learned as a young art student is the undeniable chemistry of complementary colours. This painting is a perfect example of how placing the complementary colours of red and green in close proximity to each other makes for a vibrant colour story. The greens make the reds redder, and the reds in turn make the greens brighter – resulting in a fresh, lively painting.

Peach Bowl
(18" x 18", oil on canvas)

Often, one painting leads to another. This painting grew from one that I did a few weeks ago and posted July 22, "Food for Thought"
