Here are some of the pictures, the first picture is the still life and the other two are the painting in progress.

As promised here is day 6 of my 1 a day for 30 days. This one was clocked for 1 hour, I did have to get up a few times but I did manage to get something decent, at least I think. I did a still life of a fresh lime from my garden IContinue reading “Day 6 of the 30-day Challenge”

Lemons are sour and are considered a symbol of disappointment and faultiness, but it is also considered in some other cultures a sign of fruitfulness good fortune -for exampleContinue reading “Fresh Off the Easel- “Partly Cloudy with Lemon Showers””
Fresh off the easel! “Barely Blushing”
Once again I’ve been fixated on painting tropical flowers, I figured my previous plumeria painting needed a match. This one really took a little longer than expected but I think it turned out pretty nice. Photo could be better 😐 24×22 oil on canvas
