Nailed it!

 

This is my take on the "duct tape banana art". At least, my banana won't be eaten and won't be removed from the wall. This "fun" oil painting was partly painted at the Adelaide Art Society where I became a member, a few weeks ago. I very much enjoy going to the AAS and painting amongst other artists is a very nice experience. I thoroughly enjoy it.

Balancing act

 

Thank you Tom for finding the title. This painting has been a challenge to paint but for all the good reasons. I have enjoyed the process and am happy with the outcome. Now, I have a question :  is the egg going to fall?.....

One egg is un oeuf

How many French eggs do you need? One egg is un oeuf  🤣🤣 eggcellent!

Representational

 

I'm painting again and it feels good. A light blue ribbon can mean many things in today's society. For me, it also means : hue, value and chroma.....some oil paint and voilà! 

DEITES GRANDIFLORA

Deites Grandiflora plant information says this plant is commonly called wood iris, fortnight lily, African iris, Japanese iris or butterfly iris. The blossoms are showy and last just a day, sometimes two. This oil painting took me a lot more than a couple of days to paint.....well, I'm a slow painter.

Anyway, I wanted to paint this striking beauty on a very dark background to accentuate its "splendiferousness". I added a butterfly in complement to its name and to add interest to the painting though I'm not sure about butterflies flying at night lol.

Three is a family

Today out of the blue, I painted this 36x28 cms "ACRYLIC" painting.....and it was 35°C outside. Only a little cooler inside....anyway, what a challenge this was.  Acrylic dries so fast. No time to blend etc... but it was fun and I enjoyed the process. I'm thinking of glasing this little number with oil paint. We'll see..... however I'm so very glad I painted it. Am I  coming out of a dry spell?

Mr Eolophus roseicapilla "Take two"

When is a painting finished? Well, I am not too sure.  It was 7 months ago that I posted Mr Galah and thought this painting was done.....but.....recently I was wondering, what if I change the background again, would it be better? what if I change some of the colours of the fathers? etc.... So, this is just what I did the last couple of days. I'm happy with the results but more importantly I am glad that I had the "fearlessness" to change once again this painting. Now I don't think I will make any change any more 😃.
