Golden Harvest

Behind "Golden Harvest": I began this alla prima oil painting on Friday morning at the Adelaide Art Society. My aim was to soften the apple’s edges and blend them seamlessly into the dark background. Inspired by Paul Foxton’s brilliant YouTube demonstration, I hope to have achieved that effect. I also hope Golden Harvest resonates with you, celebrating simplicity and the beauty in everyday objects. A big thank you to Paul for the reference photo and his excellent teaching skills!

Citrus Serenity

This latest oil painting has been a true joy to create. Some works, like this one, seem to flow effortlessly, with every brushstroke coming together harmoniously in the end. The real challenge for me was capturing the blue rim around the bowl with precision. I hope this piece evokes a sense of calm and reflection for you, as it did for me while painting it.

Mandarins (painting progress...)

This is the 2nd layer with colours for the bowl and 1st layer for the mandarins. I am trying to keep the chroma as high as I can for those mandarins.

This is the 1st layer with colours for the bowl.
