Tuscan window

Oil on board, 20 x 25 cm:


When it comes to painting outdoors subjects, I seem to prefer this sort of intimate scene rather than grand vistas. Not even sure what one should call this: landscape or still life? No idea, but it is what it is.

Some random sketches

I have been taking a break from painting in order to study up on some aspects of art that have always eluded me. How long I'll be busy with that, I don't know, but I'll post the occasional sketch here just to keep the blog alive.

Two still life sketches done from life:



And two in ballpoint pen plus colored pencil, cobbled together from various reference photos:



I have actually been itching to take up the brushes again, so perhaps I'll soon succumb to temptation and paint something...

Back to still life, but I decided to try something other than my usual dark backgrounds.

Sweet things

Nowadays, I try hard not to eat these things. But they are fun to paint.

Tomato, egg, pepper shaker

Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm (= about 8 x 6 inches):


As usual the camera did not reproduce the colors quite accurately. I boldly claim that the original looks better.

This work will appear on my Bid-or-Buy store as soon as it is dry enough to transport!

Cloves, tomato, apricot jam

I remain torn between oils and acrylics for this sort of painting. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. In practice, I work with one for a while, then get sick of it and switch to the other. Perhaps I'll eventually figure out which one I really prefer.
