As much as I enjoyed painting this subject, I'm pleased it's finally finished.  It's a weight off my mind.

Mandarines with Blue Pot

Once, there were three mandarines,
And a small pot of blue in between.

And the scene seen here now's what I seen (or saw, whatever).

Portrait of Andrew MacKenzie OAM

 

This was painted as part of the Victorian Artists' Society Portrait Painters in Action day 2025.  The day is a hive of activity and should more accurately be called the Portrait Painters Action day as it's the opposite of inaction.

And many many thanks to Mr Andrew MacKenzie OAM for being a patient and considerate sitter.

Having painted so many quinces recently, I've almost earned the nickname Timas Aquinces.  And I'm aware I haven't included the Picquot ware jug in the pun; or maybe I have?

Still Life with Pumpkin and Ladle

 

Both pumpkin and ladle (these particular specimens) appeared in a painting from earlier this year; their reappearance is partly due to my love of gourd and the fact I'm a bit of a ladles man.
