Green Apples with Copper Lantern

 

Initially I wasn't sure if I should paint this scene, but in the end I gave it the green light.

Still Life with Oranges and Vintage Vacuum Bottle

 

As a semi-professional painter, life can often operate in a vacuum.  This regularly results in bouts of navel gazing.

Off McKnights Lane, Langley

 

I didn't quite finish this painting, but as my friends had gone home I decided to call it a McKnight.

Off Shillidays Road, Langley

 

I wonder how many shillidays amount to a shilli season?

Still Life with Bread and Enamelware Teapot

 

As painting is my bread and butter, I should eat this kind of thing for breakfast (though it's not always my cup of tea).

Lemons with Ceramic Pitcher

 

When arranging this scene I originally considered a smaller jug to accompany the lemons, but I decided to squeeze a bit more in: I thought it best to look at the bigger pitcher.

Pears with Stoneware Jar

 

This painting began as an incomplete class demo, but I decided to finish it by recreating the scene in my studio.  It went from being a stone's throwaway to having a pear of wings.

Todd's Bridge, Near Taradale

 

This bridge painting took a fair degree of concentration -- a certain attention span, if you will.

Green Apples with Ceramic Jug

 

This painting is quite similar to one I did about six months ago (featuring lemons), so you could say I've taken a second bite of the apple.
