Egg and Glass series

Egg and Glass1

5"x8"

Oil on board

I've begun a series of paintings using eggs and a mixture of little glasses I've found in local second hand treasure stores. I suppost there is some personal symbolism...but mostly I just wanted to get drawn in to painting the opaque and the transparent....together.

Drawing...my old friend(the act of, silly - not the model!)

I do miss the ease and subtlety of the drawn mark.

More nudes....

Just little drawings I did whilst watching the news, in some really CHEAP(I know-they look it!) little frames to keep them safe from dirty paws. I've returned to drawing --my first love, for a while. I've begun teaching my life drawing class and its hard not to get inspired!

I just had a lot of fun with colour.....they have yet to own feet! Had to stop, the dogs are getting antsy and need the beach.

Also, here are the Frizzles(their feathers grow outwards)...Dusty(the dusty coloured one) is the owner of the previous post's egg!

My girls' eggs

Three Eggs

Oil on Board

The little on is the first ever layed by our frizzle pullet Dusty, the brown one by one of the larger girls, and the bigone by our fabulous wierd little Duck chuck -who likes to do her own thing and has been sitting on 14(yes 14) unfertilised eggs for the last three weeks...she is so intent we haven't the heart to tell her.

I am absolutely hopeless at remembering to post them! I've started playing with the beautiful colours of Koi fish...have done a large one on plywood -it looks like it is floating.....these little ones are sketches. Sweet colours, but I would like to make them look more real.

Remember those sketchy cows a little while ago?...I really liked them, and I rarely like anything I do. I decided to do a larger version of an animal in the same style.....I enjoyed it immensely and this shall hang on my wall. I suppose ultimately a painter is happiest painting what he/she likes to look at best...the kind of painting one might gravitate to on a gallery wall.
