Working

Haven’t posted for a while, been busy trying to finish paintings for the exhibition.Still life jug

This is a small painting 7x5 inches on canvas board, I started it about 12 months ago, but it wasn’t going right so it got put away, now I’ve finished it , I think its reasonably ok. Don’t do many still lifes.

Here’s another 7x5, again was started some time ago and left, don’t know why because its a subject I know really well, as I see it from my windows at home. Any way it’s finished now and framed.

    Been ill so I have not been online for a while. You have been very busy while I've been away. Fantastic paintings and as Caatji said, you have a wonderful view from your window.
    Great work!

  9. I love the brushwork in the sky. It is so fresh and spontaneous feeling with great mix of color. I also like you pitcher in the first painting, it really pops beautifully against the grapes.

  11. Really atmospheric Phil brings back memories of Bally when it was an exotic birding location for a young lad in the 70's!
