'Self-Portrait with an Apple.' (1902)
A common thread throughout Cuno Amiet's career was his love of colour.  In Brittany in 1892, he met Paul Sérusier and Roderic O’Connor - we can see in this work how Amiet adopted their techniques and made them his own.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

A flower still life in oil on gessoed board from nearly a decade ago (sold). The camera distorts the difference in size between the painting and the subject but gets the colour pretty acurately (an excellent DMC-LX5- still in use)

A garden painting with my old green bike, a couple of friends chatting and some of the usual clutter to be seen through the glass of the conservatory. Oil on board. I don't like the white aluminium conservatory so I hung lengths of ivy down it to break up the lines.

Still life in oil sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition in 2020. This one shows quite a bit of impasto built up during the process of composition.
