Nectarine with Small Bottle
According to Wikipedia, nectarines are sometimes referred to as a "fuzzless peach", so I asked this nectarine which appellation it preferred. It replied, "whichever, I'm not fuzzy."

River Red Gums, Royal Park
The smaller tree in this painting may well be the offspring of the larger, and therefore quite possibly a son of a gum.

Jaguers Lane, Parkville
Although I've painted Jaguers Lane on numerous occasions, I'm still serving my apprenticeship: it will take some time and much effort for me to become a Jaguer-meister.

Peppers
Per diem painter picked a peck of prismatic peppers; except that it's a paltry peck (according to Wikipedia, a peck is a quarter of a bushel, which is a bit more than shown here) and can barely be described as peckish, unless of course you're hungry.

House on Morrah Street, Parkville
