Sunflowers in a ceramic vase
Acrylics on Masonite, 36 x 51 cm (= about 14 x 20 inches):
This one is a bit larger than my usual thing, and as such I did not put it up on my Bid-or-Buy store, because it is likely a bit too unwieldy to send anywhere by mail. It will hopefully feature in a local exhibition in due course.

Sunbird and Protea Flower
More specifically, a greater double-banded sunbird. Acrylics on Masonite, 20 x 15 cm:
The sunbirds (there are many species) are Africa's version of the hummingbirds of the Americas. despite their similar looks, they are not closely related. The sunbirds have a similar lifestyle though, and live on nectar and small insects.

Tomato and banana
Acrylics on Masonite, 15 x 20 cm:
I have been rather busy with bankers and bureaucrats, as well as some non-fine art projects (watch this space!). But finally had time for a quick painting again. This sort of small still life done from the result of a raid on the kitchen remains an old favorite genre of mine.
This item may be for sale on my Bid-or-Buy store.

And another nasturtium
Acrylics on Masonite, 20 x 15 cm:
I have long liked these cheerful little flowers, and the umbrella-like leaves that repel water. One can almost imagine fairies and gnomes living under there...

Rose heart
Acrylics on Masonite, 20 x 25 cm:
I rather like the semi-abstract forms that result when you zoom right into things, particularly parts of plants. I just goes to show that there is actually no very clear dividing line between abstraction and representation.

Agave heart
Acrylics on Masonite, 25 x 20 cm:
A somewhat experimental piece, perhaps. I have long liked the idea of pictures that zoom right in on a part of a plant, a la Georgia O'Keeffe. Not that I can match her work, but why not give it a try anyway?
