Partly cloudy and mild:

When I was a kid, we did not have TV. We got the weather report on the radio, but through all those lazy summer days, it always seemed to be the same report: "Partly cloudy and mild, with scattered thunderstorms." You can't really go wrong with such a report in summer here.

Rain's coming:

SOLD

Over much of South Africa, rain is mostly in the form of summer afternoon storms rolling in from the south. It often creates this rather pleasing effect: you are standing in bright sunlight, but half the sky is already covered in dark, approaching clouds.

Pretty flowers

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.

Grapes, mushrooms

And another small one. I really should do a whole series of them, but we'll see...

Weeding the vegetable garden produced a bit of treasure!

Three Figs

Happened to walk past a fig tree in fruit and shamelessly stole myself some to serve as models...
