Still life - pastel. Brittany April 2013

Fruit and decanter

I know people think still life are boring but I really like painting them - and I like this. Anna Dale Harris has it up in her house and it looks lovely. It was the hardest painting to give away - but that is a good sign!

A partner piece to the mushrooms. They are both quite small, about 8 inches square. The background doesn't look quite as horrendous as here!

Still life - inspired by Jean-Baptiste Chardin

Oil on canvas 2009

This was a painting I did in Art Class. The idea was to take a painting by Chardin and re-interpret it, using a different palette and moving towards a more abstract style.

Apple - on a floating plate!

Oil on canvas 2007

I gave this to Cherry Denman for her 50th. Only later did I realise how ungrounded the plate is, but Cherry won't let me change it!
