Autumn Notebook, Page 1
(18" x 14", oil on canvas)

This homage to Autumn was inspired by a recent walk in the woods when I arrived home with pockets crammed full of nature's treasures. The colours, textures and shapes found at this time of the year are almost overwhelming, a treasure trove for artists of all stripes.

October Lobos
(24" x 24", oil on canvas)

In the fall, country roadside apple stands seem to pop up overnight and markets are overflowing with the just-picked fruit. There is little that says October to me more than fresh bright apples... and that first crisp bite!

Colour Luxe
(20" x 30", oil on canvas)

I approached this painting with some trepidation, concerned that the rich tones of blue and red would simply cancel each other out. But I think my deliberate choice of bright objects in the form of the white bowl and the fruit provide just enough light and life to balance the darker saturated colours.

Jersey Macs
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

These apples, seemingly available only this time of year, are quite small and more regular in form than standard supermarket fare. The skin of the Jersey Mac is a deliciously warm red with cool ruby shadows. The intense red bleeds slightly into the interior flesh, making for unusual and colourful stains. The small squat blue jug seemed to be the perfect shape to accompany these diminutive fruit.
