Winter morning #236

Daily painting #236. 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel 

The sunrise has shifted north of our eastern coastline and is now no longer beating through my bedroom windows in the early morning with such intensity. Winter is on its way (finally) and the mornings have a beautiful crisp chill in the air. I do love our subtle Durban winter! Painting in the early mornings is pleasant even though it is a little chilly and if you are wanting to catch a good sunrise you can still sleep for a little longer rather than be up at about 4.30 am! This morning the sky was soft with gentle wispy changes in color....

Roses in a blue and white pot #235

Daily painting #235. 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

FREE SHIPPING worldwide for the remainder of May so visit the online store!

The composition of this little painting worries me and as always the roses were a challenge!! It didn't help that I started this little painting in the morning then had to leave it and only managed to return to it later in the evening. The light and mood was different and of course the light catching and shaping the form in the roses was completely different....it was just one of those days....a challenge...in more ways than one!

China cup and strawberries #234

Well it's not hard to guess what has been on my breakfast menu this week! I thought the combination of these vibrant red strawberries and my little broken treasure worked well together....both fragile, yet appealing! This little rose china cup has a broken handle and sits on the shelf in my studio....I am sure I have painted it before....I love little treasures like this! A combination of little gems in my studio today!

Birds on the wire #232

Daily painting #232. 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel SOLD

The weekend got off to a really windy start. My little wooden bird feeder was being thrashed around and knocking against the pillar on my upstairs bedroom veranda. I decided to bring it in and forgot on Saturday to put it back out again. This morning I woke up early to the sound of birds chirping and chattering. They were gathered along the telephone wire which is normally their safe retreat from my cat when he gets too close to the feeder. They were making a huge noises....kicking up a fuss that there was no breakfast in sight! One or two would fly up to the feeder (which wasn't there) and then retreat back to the wire to chatter and chirp away! Of course I braved the chilly morning air and went out to hang the feeder again. There have been a flurry of birds feasting all day....
