Round 3 on this one.

Is it normal to have to stand in a puddle of dog slobber the whole time you paint and trying not to slip because Sophie’s water bowl is right behind me and she has a drinking problem?

This thing stares at me in the face, everyday, taunting me. “Paint meeeee…” it whispers. “Paaaaaaaint meeeeeeeee….”

Too scared.

Way too scared….

No more! ROUND ONE!

In a finishing off mood. Finally put the finishing touches to this brass pot and lemon (part of a Paul Foxton workshop). Again I only wanted to change a few things. #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife #painting #paulfoxton

Alla prima study of a red onion, when you are stuck for a subject, paint what you can find in your cupboard

Session two on this big ol’ green confit pot. Feeling a bit ho hum right now. Might feel differently in the morning #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife

Layer 2 on a Foxton session. Still another one to go. Had to stop as I sliced my thumb open on the palette knife. #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife

Second layer on a @paulfoxton.bsky.social Still life session. Of course right now I notice a nasty drawing error. Happy so far - will need another session. #oilpainting #oilstilllife #stilllife

A final Foxton project. Not finished and I'm not loving it right now. Will take one more pass. #stilllife #oilpainting #oilstilllife

Last of the @paulfoxton.bsky.social sessions. A bit daunting this one. #oilpainting #oilstilllife #stilllife

Another @paulfoxton.bsky.social session. Gave up at this point - that bottle just wasn't playing ball. Good session though. #oilpainting #paulfoxton #stilllife #oilstilllife #paintingglass

Better ellipses? I think so. Will leave it for now. #oilpainting #oilstilllife #paulfoxton #stilllife #drawingellipses

A fiendish Friday Foxton today. Ignoring the dodgy ellipses a pretty good effort though. @paulfoxton.bsky.social #oilpainting #oilstilllife #stilllife #dodgyellipses #art

When I want to get back into painting after a while of unproductivity (like after the winter break), then it helps me to set up a simple still life to work through that inner voice telling me that I can't paint anymore.
"Uncomparable", oil, 6x8 inches.

Happy New Years!
Be joyous and SAFE!

"Vase and Piccolo"
Oil 16"x20" Gessobord
(Completed Dec 31, 2021)

Still Life of a vase my mother made in a ceramics class (in the mid 1960's), and my piccolo.

( Glad I found Old-Holland Turquoise blue deep on Ebay )

An oil from this year of peonies from a local farm (Nicewicz Farm). I only do oils for 'fun' and don't do many of them but I try and do one peony painting a year. #oilpainting #floralart #oilpeonies #peonies #oilflowers #stillife #oilstilllife

Another still life today but an oil and much lower key and 'moodier'. I really liked that sharp, almost harsh contrast at the edge of the quince with everything else soft and indistinct.
