Mandarine with Copper Jug

A mandarine appeeling to better jugment

Baguette with Blue Cheese

This subject had a high degree of difficulty, not because of its technical nature, but because it was my lunch and I was particularly hungry.  As such, the painting isn't quite finished, but the same can't be said for my repast.

Garden at Rosebery Hill, Pipers Creek

Not entirely which trees and shrubs I've depicted here--just the garden variety (actually, I think the dark shadow in the very bottom right is the edge of a Sequoiadendron, but you'll have to take my word for it).

Pear in Wooden Box

Pear-knuckle boxing

Tarrawingee Landscape

I was going to make a pun about these two trees, but tree puns arboring.

Rock Pools at Woolshed Falls, Beechworth

Despite appearances, there is actually a waterfall that emerges between these rocks--it falls between the cracks.

Beechworth Gorge

I gorged myself on the gorgeous Beechworth landscape.

Ginger Beer Bottle with Désirée Potato

Small Bottle with Parmesan Cheese

This painting represents me: I'm rather partial to the bottle, and like a good cheese, I'm a pun gent.

Quince in Wooden Box

If this piece of fruit looks like the same one depicted here and here, it's no quincidence--it is in fact the same quince.

Pear with Onion

Onions: good for an impaired memory (according to a random study I found on the internet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16823099).

Tomato with Petite Liqueur Bottle

Lycopene is an antioxidant found in tomatoes that is rumoured to be a remedy for hangovers, and hence it is fictitiously known in France as le cure.

Teacup and Saucer

Composing yet another pun about tea is a bit of a strain.

Figs

There are four figs in this painting: the three you can see, and one that's a figment of my imagination.

Building on Mollison Street, Kyneton

The building was originally intended to be the focal point of this picture, but a car got in the road--it could have driven me round the bend, but instead I found another gear and steered the painting in a different direction.

Porcelain Jug with Zucchini

There once was a jug and courgette,
Who ran up a large gambling debt.
When goons paid a visit,
Our friends asked, "how much is it?"
"We can't seem to place all our bets."

Portrait of a Woman with Necklace

In order to complete this painting, I had to draw a bead on the subject (or paint beads to be more accurate).

Garlic Bulb with Painted Glass Vase

Garlic is white, vases are blue; such simplistic verse should I surely eschew.

Carlsruhe Railway Station

I've been trying to think of a pun about a railway station, but I keep losing my train of thought.

Mollison Street Bridge, Kyneton

It's too late to come up with an original bridge pun: I don't have the attention span.
