Country cottage

And now for something completely different. Country cottage, acrylic on board, ACEO size (= 2.5 x 3.5 inches, or 64 x 89 mm). And yes, light blazing from all the windows, a la Kinkade. Haven't done one of these in ages, and I had so much fun I think I'll do a whole series...

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.

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.
