Letterbox on Sidonia Road

 

Landscape oil painting of a letterbox on a roadway with a prominent tree, a shed and distant hills
Despite being a pacifist, I'd say that if anyone's daughter has pugilistic dreams, letterbox.

Figure study oil painting of a seated young woman wearing a white robe
Painting a garment such as this might be referred to as a robic exercise.

Still Life with Ladle and Green Apples

 

Still life oil painting of a number of minty-green objects (a ladle, a mug, a vacuum bottle and a flour sifter) with three green apples
Still life is often the cores of de-ladles.

Garden Shed, Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, Daylesford

 

Landscape oil painting of a shed in amongst a garden with trees and flowers, with long afternoon shadows and warm light in the foreground, and distant hills in the background
It's impossible for me to avoid reviving the obvious pun (used many, many moons ago) when this subject is about a shed, and light, and therefore it's about shedding light.

Boathouse Restaurant, Daylesford

 

Landscape oil painting of a white building with a red roof beside a lake surrounded with trees
The restaurant cut a picturesque figure beside the lake that should have been easy to paint, but I think I made a meal of it.

Portrait of Gabriel Gaté

 

Portrait of a man in chef's whites holding a bowl with a wooden spoon
It was a privilege to have popular chef and author Gabriel Gaté sit for our portrait group.  He proved to be a commendable model, helping many a seasoned artist to cook up a chef d'oeuvre.
