A Pear with Clementines

An original 5 x 7  inch, expressive, colorist, still life painting done in a contemporary style with professional grade acrylic paint . It is painted on linen on a hardboard panel. As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Green Grapes and Plums

There wasn't much opportunity for me to paint this week.  I did do a larger painting of gladiolas but still need to photograph it.  Today, there wasn't much time to paint so I did a small 5 x 7 inch of some grapes and plums in a bowl.  It's a simple composition but I liked the color contrast.

This painting is on gallery wrap canvas and the sides have been painted black so it can be displayed without framing.  It is finished with a coat of acrylic satin finish varnish for additional enhancement and protection.

Thanks for looking.

Hydrangias and Daisies

 
I thought that this combination of flowers would be interesting and fun to paint and it was.
 
As with all my paintings, a final coat of semi-gloss acrylic varnish is applied to give further enhancement and protection.
