A Mishmash


This week I have been playing with oils and watercolour paints
It is spring here and I wanted to capture the colours of spring in the above oil sketch.  I am afraid it is entirely made up, but I would love to own a luscious blue vase like that.

Here in this oil, I did paint from life. The lemons were on the bench while I was painting the aubergine and so they had to be included, my bench is stainless steel, but I decided that red created a good tension in the still life.

Face 15

Face 15 in my 29 faces for September challenge. I am afraid to say I can't decide whether this sketch is a boy or girl, I am leaning towards girl, maybe that why she looks worried!

  Here is something to think about in the coming week.
Paradox of love

 The scripture I am taking into the coming week is:

Dear children,
 let us not love with words or speech 
but with actions and in truth
1John 3:18 NIV

  1. I like the bright colors you used. I agree-- a vase in hat color would be beautiful.

    The expression on her (I think it definitely looks like a female) seems more disdainful than worried. She's not happy about something! :-)
