I have been enjoying my first week of an online Intuitive Painting class with Flora Bowley. The class is more about creating abstract work, but I thought it would be great to apply what I’m learning to still life as well. Below are 2 paintings I’ve been working on this past week for my class.

Catch

This will be the last "dog" ball for now. My dog, Zoe, is relieved that I won't be painting anymore of her toys. She doesn't really like to share, but she does LOVE to play CATCH! She's very good at it and would play for hours if she found someone willing to throw the ball for hours.

Buds

I love the contrast of the delicate rose buds and the beer bottle.

Mumsie

I painted this and then went to visit my "mumsie".

Another Ball

It was raining so, I had to paint inside today. My dog, Zoe, made sure to stay close while I was painting. I guess she didn't trust me with her favorite toy. 

A Ball

This painting is my first attempt at painting outdoors. It was a beautiful morning so I collected all my paint supplies and headed to the backyard. It's amazing how wonderful colors look in real sunlight. I just chose a simple subject, but something I have never painted before...a ball. And not just any ball, this is my dog Zoe's birthday ball. She loves to "Get the ball!"

We were doing a little spring cleaning this weekend and I found this bowl in the basement. I totally forgot we had it. It had only been missing for 10 years! I need to do some more searching in the basement…who knows what I’ll find! :)

Room For One

6"x6", oil on gessoboard

Available in my Etsy shop.

There was room for only one orange in the bowl. The others will just have to wait their turn.

I really want to go to a painting workshop this year, but I can't decide which one I want to go to!
