Clarity
(18" x 24", oil on canvas)

I really enjoy the crisp clean colours of this painting, hence the title. I have also used one of my preferred triangular compositions to give a gentle tension to the work.

White Peaches
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

White peaches are a little harder to find in my area, but they are worth hunting down for their delicate colouring. In this painting, pairing the warm orange tones with the cooler blues makes for an interesting, though muted, contrast.

Lemon Lineup
(12" x 36", oil on canvas)

I had this composition floating around in my head for almost two weeks before I was actually able to start it. Consequently, I was quite excited to I finish up what I had on my easel and start putting this piece together. Once I was satisfied with the arrangement of the lemons I turned my attention to the placement of the cloth, taking particular care with the positioning of the blue stripe.

Still Life with Scattered Grapes
(20" x 30", oil on canvas)

A traditional still life gets a little movement from the scattered grapes in the foreground. This higher vantage point allows me to use the cast shadows of the objects as compositional devices, adding further interest.
