Night Stand

Cat on the Bed

20 x 16 inches - oil on hardboard - This cat likes to occupy the bed so she can watch the birds fly by. Sometimes she gets a bit of sun too.
 

Old Lamp

 8 x 8 inches - oil on hardboard - This old lamp has been in my family since my grandfather had it and perhaps before.

Light Under the Desk

 8 x 8 inches - oil on hardboard - I like the way the light streams across the floor in the morning.

Two Tables

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on hardboard - Here is another painting of interior objects.

Orange Tree

 

8 x 8 inches - Oil on hardboard - This is our orange tree which in our climate is a houseplant.  It is over 50 years old and it flowers and continuously produces fruit. Don't eat it though because it tastes nasty.

Old Radio

8 x 8 inches - Oil on gessoboard. Radios used to be large and complicated. The grand style of the cabinets reflected the importance they once played in people's lives.
 

Chair by the Window

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on hardboard.  This is one of a series of simple paintings of interiors that I did recently.

The Hallway

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is a scene from the hallway at our B&B in Stratford.

Desk Chair

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another one that I painted from a reference image chromecast to my studio monitor using PhotoVideoCast on my ipad.

Sofa

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - I have been making some adjustments to my studio which will be revealed in due course.  This painting was created using a new process that might work for me in future.  Sitting with my morning coffee, I took a photo using my ipad of the light streaming onto the sofa in what I thought was an interesting way. I then fed it into photoshop light also on the ipad and adjusted by cropping and fiddling with the saturation etc.  I then fed the image into artrage on the ipad also and painted over it where I knew I wanted to adjust some things. I then used the ipad with a program called Photo VideoCast to send it to the monitor that is in my studio equipped with a Chromecast device which cost $35. I can paint directly from the reference on the monitor which is right beside my easel.

It sounds complicated but its not and in a few minutes while I am having coffee, I have figured out what I am going to paint next.
