Farm Shed at Pipers Creek

Looking at this picture for the first time since painting it on Sunday, it has become apparent to me that the shed's roof line isn't quite right--it's effectively a roof lyin'.

Shearing Shed at Springvale Farm, Pipers Creek

It has been many years since this shearing shed has seen any sheep.  It's a shearing shed that has shed its sheep.

Glencairn Whisky Glass with Carrot

A glass of whisky on a Friday evening is my reward for completing the working week; in other words, it is a metaphorical carrot.

Pier at the Mouth of Mordialloc Creek, Port Phillip Bay

A pier--or at least what appears to be a pier--for you to peer at.  Had I chosen not to paint the pier, it would have been a painting without pier.

Boats at Mordialloc Creek

It was somewhat difficult to choose a subject, but after some reflection I took to the water.

Lemon with Green Background

Subscribers to my blog (both you and me, dear reader) will be familiar with my tendency to paint at least two objects in every still life.  In the present case of a solo lemon, the number of objects has been re-juiced.

Oil Storage Tank and Ship at Gellibrand and Breakwater Piers, Williamstown

The ship and the oil storage tank each sit beside a pier, but neither pier is visible.  You might say they've disappiered from view.

Onion with Mustard Jar

Gravy training: Onion and mustard (the combination of which make and excellent gravy) combined with the discipline of sharpening one's painting skills.

Still Life with Pink Cloth

I arrived at class to find that we were still doing still life.  Unlike this piece of cloth, I was hardly tickled pink (though somehow I suspect the colour of the cloth owes more to dye than tickling).

Electricity Pole, Rosebery Hill, Pipers Creek

This image a substandard reproduction of the original painting; in fact, I'd go so far as to say that the two are poles apart.
