Vase with Marbles

8 x 8 inches - oil on hardboard - There is so much variation to be found in marbles. Lucky I haven't lost my marbles yet.

Vase and Onion

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard.  Believe it or not we still have a few things flowering in our garden like these snapdragons.

Vase and Two Bottles

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard

Red White and Blue

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - I am working with simpler forms so that I can focus more on colour.

Snowdrops

7 x 5 inches, oil on gessoboard - Snowdrops are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. We still have some small piles of snow stubbornly melting, but the garden is starting to pop out of the ground.  I picked these from our garden and painted them because they will not be around for long.

Cream and Sugar with Vase

6 x 6 inches, oil on hardboard - I have been experimenting with various coloured gessos, mostly a light neutral and black, as well as different toning of the board before starting. One day I will find the perfect method that works for me.
