Dance with 5 objects

Acrylic and oil on cardboard
With the exception of the little bowl, all the objects were chosen for their neutral tones.
I have been exploring painting in a high key.

The striped cup

Oil on cardboard
This picture was painted using a very reduced range of pigment: black, white, blue and ochre.
It is interesting to see how much colour can be made from such a limited palate.

Paint brushes



Oil on stretched canvas  40.5 x 30.5            $275
These brushes have been hanging around since we painted the lounge room.
I think they make a marvellous subject for still life.
