Dangling from the rope

 


Two cherries, dangling from a rope, sway gently in the breeze. Their vibrant red hues a stark contrast against the backdrop of the sky, embodying a simple yet poetic dance of nature.
It's cherry season down under! That means summer and Christmas. Have a good one!

Eggstatic

 


"Eggstatic" (in my book....😉), means feeling extremely happy or full of excitement. One could also add synonyms of "eggstatic" to include rapturous, entranced, enthusiastic. Well, this is how I feel, ✅,✅,✅.

I have enjoyed painting this golden egg, so full of symbolisms! But the question is : How do you like your eggs? Sunny side up? 😋

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.
