Three Bells
(12" x 36", oil on canvas)

This painting was so much fun to do that I couldn’t wait to get into the studio each morning. The bright colours of the three sweet bell peppers, combined with larger format, gave me the opportunity to play around with the organic shapes. I explored some great colour passages that are almost abstract when viewed at life size, adding great excitement to the painting process and making this composition really pop.

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

The creamy white flesh of these peaches is a lovely contrast to the vibrant yellows and reds found in the skin. The deliberate placement of the fruit ensures the diagonal centerlines are a nice complement to the pronounced diagonal stripes found in the cloth. The strong cast shadow on the tablecloth adds some interest to the bottom half of the composition, while not detracting from the center of interest.

Olio
(24" x 48", oil on canvas)

Our little main street market is filling up with bright local produce making it difficult for me to choose between making dinner and making art! I decided to do both and came home with a large box of tomatoes on the vine, half to eat, and half to paint.
