This rather attractive house is just a block or two from where I live. I have been wanting to paint it for ages, and now I finally got around to it.

Zinnia flower
Oil on Masonite, ACEO (= 2.5 x 3.5 inches):
Another attempt at painting outside, with a mini paintbox. This one was a bit uncomfortable sitting on a small stool amid tall grasses with insects crawling over me - not ideal conditions, but that's of course part of the fun.

Morning glory
Oil on Masonite, ACEO (= 2.5 x 3.5 inch):
I have never tried this before: outdoor painting with a little homemade, mini tin can paintbox. A somewhat nervous first attempt, perhaps, but with practice I might improve.

Eugenia berries
Oil on Masonite, ACEO (= 2.5 x 3.5 inches):
On my regular morning walk, I noticed the trees are in fruit at the moment, so I collected some for a quick mini painting.

When working in oil, I am always tempted to channel the expressionists...

Nowadays I don't do many oils, partly simply because I don't really have space to put them all while waiting for them to dry to the point where they can be packed away. But for some sorts of effects, nothing else will do. For many artists, oil is their "serious" medium; for me it's something to be playful with, and plaster on thick, juicy brushstrokes in uninhibited manner. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, but I always learn some thing in the process.

Crown of thorns
Oil on Masonite, ACEO (= 3.5 x 2.5 inches):
One of my very occasional ventures into religious art, a genre I enjoy looking at, but am not too confident about working in.

Ceramic cup and matches
Oil on Masonite, 10 x 15 cm:
Been a while since I have painted a little still life setup from direct observation - it's always a good exercise.
