Croissants with Red Coffee Percolator

 

I must confess (spill the beans if you like) that this was a more difficult painting than anticipated and therefore took longer than normal -- it felt like I was working at a snail's pastry.

Power Pole near Waratah Bay

 

This pole is essential to the painting's composition.  It provides the power balance.

Cows near Waratah Bay

 

Because this painting is relatively small, I thought that by selecting this subject I'd given myself a bum steer, but I decided that what heifer will be, will be.

McLeod Road, Waratah Bay

 

Parts of this painting were done from memory because the the scene was initially sunny, but then the McLeods rolled in.

Boulders at Squeaky Beach, Wilsons Promontory

 

After a couple of days spent tutoring plein air workshops, I had just enough time to squeak in a painting --  I was evidently ready to rock (or at least try to).

Farm Sheds, East Metcalfe

 

This was a slightly complicated scene that I attempted to simplify.  The less shed the better.

Figure Study: Woman with Green Drapery

 

I've been trying to come up with a caption for this painting, but I'll have to leave it for now and figure it out later.

Thanks to winnie.wilde for sitting, and sitting so still.

Fruit Spectrum with White Jugs

 

This painting took more effort than I think it should have, and I'm not sure if my labours have borne fruit.  I'll let you, dear reader, be the jug.
