Autumn Still Life/In the Kitchen.

I have had such a hectic three weeks, both family crisis, and house decorating, that I have not even had chance to finish the last two weeks studies done at Avon Valley Artists. Last night I finally found a couple of hours to myself, so instead of starting something new, I got out the two paintings and made a push to get them finished. I am pleased that I made the effort as I quite like both of them, although they are totally different. I share them here with you, without the usual step-by-step comments, just so that you know that I am still painting, although the blog has been quiet for a little while. I hope you enjoy looking.

Two weeks ago the subject was Autumn Still Life, and this piece is painted on the usual rough Fabriano Artistico paper.




Last week, the title was 'In The Kitchen' and I chose to paint from a photograph given to me by a 16 year old student of Photography, produced for her final Photographic Display.


Hopefully,things will get quieter, and I will find more time to spend in the studio.

    I loved the wash on the first one even before you did the flowers! Both are great paintings

      Thanks Polly. I often want to keep the backgrounds as abstract paintings, but I do have to produce a subject based result at the group1

      Thanks, Kathryn. I really tried to keep the colours fresh and I think it did work.

    Yvonne - both paintings are so wonderful...love the loose flow you achieved with the first and the intricate whites on the bottles in the second. Both paintings look like you used the same palette of colors which are so lovely. Hope you have a good day.

    Thanks for the comments Debbie. Yes, the palettes of both contain most of the same colours, just a different way of using them.

    Love "in the kitchen painting", especially the sharp graphic technique you have used; very different from your usual style.
