The end of winter hybernation

Nature is reawakening and I feel the creative juices stirring again. Here is the first painting of the Spring 2009 season ))) It is still in withering colour which I love to much to let go but the next one coming up will be very bright and Easterly.

Honeysuckle in Progress

This is a still life that I began last summer. The work on it stopped when I was moving home. It was resting on a shelf since then until yesterday when I suddenly felt an urge to finish it. In my opinion it is still not there completely, still need to spend some time over the delicate fabrics but I want to put it here in its transition state to remember what it was like when I work on it further. It will be interesting to compare it with the finished version.

Rose and Pebbles

I have started this painting several days ago but completed it only today. I wanted to create the sea cottage feeling when I started it. It's too soon now for me to have an objective view of it. I am fairly pleased with it so far.

First Autumn Leaves

Have been to Richmond park today and the first signs of autumn are so very clear over there. This is a part of a little pond right by the Ham Gates.

With the half-term holidays over I could concentrate again on painting today. There were a few things left unfinished a while ago so I have worked on them a bit this morning. This one, Boats on Thames in Fog, has been in limbo for several months already. I wasn't happy with it before and hadn't the energy to do anything with it. Today its day has come. I made some alterations, clarified some details and put my signature in the corner.

I spied this scene in central Richmond last autumn. It was an amazing day when all around me was drowning in a thick, milky haze. I painted it over another landscape which I wasn't happy with and it gave this painting an ultra pronounced texture which I quite like.

White Rose and Physalis

Just managed to finish this still life despite the groggy feeling from the heavy cold I am having at the moment. Have come across these physalis in Tesco the other and was surprised to find out that it's the same kind of plant that I have recently come across near our house. Those fascinating, all dried up, transparent lanterns in the pink glass vase which I painted the other day and these full bodied and utterly delicious fruits are in fact brothers... or sisters. I love painting withered textures and colours and I absolutely love reflections.
