Pretty flowers
Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm:
For a change, an outdoor scene. For this sort of thing I often prefer a far looser, impressionist sort of style. I based it on a reference photo I took in the garden of a local school; I noticed the girl intently staring at the flowers, haloed in rich light, and knew I wanted to try painting it.

Candy and Delftware
Oil on board, 15 x 20 cm (= about 6 x 8 inches):
Cloudy and drizzly weather today, so the light is no good for photography. And hence, the camera didn't really reproduce the picture all that accurately.

Grapes, mushrooms

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