Young Woman in Traditional Dress

 

Observant viewers might note that this is the same model and pose I painted three weeks ago, but from a different angle.  Like last time, I'm not sure what tradition this represents except that, having painted the same scene twice, it might possibly mark the beginning of a Tim-honoured tradition.

Green Apples with Vintage Electric Kettle

 

If this was an attempt to paint a pot-boiler, I failed -- having watched this kettle for several hours, I can confirm that it did not stir.  The idiom is the core of the issue rather than the apples.

Antique Bottles with Lemons

 

This is primarily a painting about old bottles (and executing it was quite a battle with the bottles) interspersed with random acts of rindness.

Young Woman in Traditional Dress with Oranges

 

I'm not entirely sure which tradition this represents only that it has something to do with oranges; perhaps we should simply appreciate the scene and not indulge in too much navel gazing.

Daffodils in Enamelware Jug

 

Daffodils are such narcissists, always blowing their own trumpets.

Young Woman with Guitar

 

The model who'd been booked didn't show, so thankfully Lucy from the VAS was able to fill in at the last minute.  It was, however, necessary to pull a few strings.

Vintage Mixer

 

Painting this Mixmaster was a challenge, somewhat, but I refused to be beaten.

This might not be the most accurate representation of the model, so consider it a ballpark figure

If your poker hand is merely pairs, I'll most-likely Cu.

P.S. This was a 2 hour exercise done as part of a series of class demos depicting glass, silver, brass and copper.

Granite Boulders, Blackhill Reserve

 

By definition, I was keeping something in reserve; perhaps I should have been bolder?

Blackhill School Road, Edgecombe

 

Yet another painting with gum trees and shadows falling across a track.  Something tells me I've been down this road before.

Vintage Shop Scales

 

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