Garden Featuring Atlantic Cedar at Rosebery Hill, Pipers Creek

Despite the apparent sunshine, my painting activities had to be abandoned due to an unexpected deluge.  As such, it might be compared to Charles I of England: while one had his reign cut short, the other was cut short by rain.

Alfred Crescent, North Fitzroy

'Twas rather pleasant on the crescent where the light was iridescent but its beauty evanescent.

Be wary of stepping on banana peels or you may come a copper.

P. S. Something seemed familiar about this image, and a quick dip into the archives revealed this: Copper Pot with Banana.  In the immortal words of Britney Spears, oops, I did it again.

Egg on Vase

The surgical removal of all or part of a gland is an add-an-egg-to-me, whilst the surgical procedure for male sterilisation is a vase-egg-to-me.

Teapot

Every time I attempt to paint this teapot, I'm reminded that it's particularly difficult.  It's a strained exercise that drives me up the spout.

Milk Jug with Onion

The skin that forms on top of milk is known as lactoderm (or at least that's what Wikipedia tells me), whilst biologists apparently refer to onion skin as a tunic.  That I rely on the internet for facts proves that my knowledge is only skin deep.
