O & Co. Part Two
(12" x 12", oil on canvas)

Here’s another composition featuring this wonderful little O & Co bottle, along with another recent acquisition, a dark bottle with a red wax seal. I've picked up the red in the elastic around the beans and bounced a bit more here and there to give this small painting a fair amount of interest.

O & Co

(12" x 12", oil on canvas)



My already extensive collection of bottles just grew bigger with the addition of this little bottle of oil. Its proportions are perfect and I love its diminutive size. The raised lettering, O & CO, gives added personality to the piece. This composition packs a great deal of interest into a small space and it has a tone I find very appealing.

It is my goal to do a number of these small compositions in the coming weeks. Given my 6-month drying time, they will be ready just in time for Christmas!

Pears on a Glass Pedestal
(16" x 16", oil on canvas)

Fruit, fruit and more fruit! I seem to be hooked on colour and what better way to get my fix than to paint the wonderful variety of fruit that is so readily available.

These are a Few of my Favourite Things
(16" x 16", oil on canvas)

Not all paintings work out. After a few days of struggling with an idea that simply wouldn't gel, I pulled out a few of my favourite things, and just like the song, things start to look up.

This red jug has starred in many successful paintings, and is a joy to paint. While the colour is wonderful, I think it's appeal has more to do with shape and proportion. Add some colourful fruit and a bowl in a complementary shape and I have a can't-fail composition.

Brown Sugar Berries
(12" x 12", oil on canvas)

While it is true that nothing beats fresh picked local berries, imported varieties keep me happy long before our season really kicks in. These berries traveled all the way from California to Quebec, cushioned on a bed of bubble wrap. No picking through this box to find the perfect ones, each berry is perfect with bright green leaves and lovely shades of fiery oranges and reds.
