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.

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...

Apple and bottle

Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm:

Mini bottle and Eugenia berries

Oil on board, 10 x 15 cm:

Probably the last of the berries for the season - mornings are getting decidedly frosty...

Onion and bottle

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

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

Onion and herbs

Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm:

Eggs, bottle, pear.

Oil on board, 20 x 25 cm:

Egg cartons are surprisingly difficult to paint - I should do some more!

Pear and bottles

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

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.

Mustard and apricot jam

Oil on board, 15 x 10 cm:

Next week, perhaps some larger ones again...

Egg, mushroom, tomato

Oil on board, 10 x 15 cm (= 4 x 6 inches):

One of the last cherry tomatoes sill on the last surviving plant before winter hits us here...
