This is my latest oil painting entitled Lemon in the Sun. Its on a canvas board 30 x 20 cms. I wanted to try and capture the sun soaked effect making the already bright lemon colour even more luminous. I had to make the yellow as warm as possible with out it being too orange and keep [...]

This is a small 4 x 4 inch oil painting which makes the strawberry life sized. I cut an old canvas down which would have been thrown out otherwise.
