Lemon in the Sun
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 the value lower than I would usually.
I am pricing this one at £99. Please contact me via the contact form if you would like to purchase it.

RNLI Boat
Just finished this painting which is going to be either raffled off or auctioned to raise money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI). (Twitter.com/rnli)
The idea came about through a friend (twitter.com/mkrb) who has just completed his RNLI training and is ready to go out on call.
It was his idea to raise money for this very worthy cause, and as he knew I enjoyed painting the occasional seascape he kindly asked me to do the painting.
The raffle or auction won’t be taking place until September 2011 but I will give more details when the date approaches.
It is oil on box canvas 16 x 12 inches and 0.75 inches deep. It can be hung as-is or framed.
It is based on an official RNLI image that they kindly gave their permission to use.

Strawberry and Cream
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.
I am selling it unframed but it would look great with a wide border and suitable dark frame.
Painting strawberries is quite a challenge particularly the seeds. The hard part is trying to make it look like it hasn’t got some sort of disease.
However the more you paint something the easier it becomes. This is my third strawberry painting in as many months and I think I am getting the hang of them.
The palette for this one is: Titanium white, lemon yellow, cad yellow deep, cad red, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, ultramarine blue and windsor green. Indian yellow was added in a tiny quantity to the white to produce the cream colour.

Three Oranges Still Life
Still life oil painting of three oranges.
Box canvas 12 x 16 inches with sides painted.
I started with a green-toned canvas which gives this a slightly cool feel as I let some of the colour come through in the background here and there.
I have tried to keep more colour than usual in the shadowy parts of the orange and it works well.
I usually reduce the chroma of shadowy areas a bit too much but have kept it higher than usual in this case.
The palette for this was quite a simple one: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Pale, Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna.

Beer and Sweets
Beer and sweets might seem like an odd combination for a still life painting but despite the obvious differences they have quite a few things in common too.
Sugar, health, addictive qualities… I am not going to list them all however, thats what I want the viewer to think about!
Overall this one was quite a challenge, firstly to get the transparency of the glass and secondly to get the bright glinting highlights of the sweet wrappers.
It may have been better to have the sweets set against a darker background to give a greater contrast to the highlights but I am fairly happy with the glass. This was achieved by allowing the dark underlayer to dry first and dragging thin paint over the top, being careful not to destroy too much of the background.
It is oil on canvas sheet 305 x 250 mm
