Buy now

I couldn't resist this green tea lamington cake covered in coconut...as soon as I saw it in the shop, I bought it, painted it...then ate it!! It was so delicious with a cream filling! This is the last food painting for now, I have flowers on my mind and one or two other things!

Coconut

6"x6" oil on board

Finally...here is the oil version of the coconut I did as a daily drawing. I have two small shoe paintings in progress for a gallery, so have had to work on those...and  a larger flower one I want to paint  that I haven't even got to yet!  This is a different palette than I normally use... ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, white and  cerulean blue. I have used it a few times and really like it!


My drawing today #13

Elephant....graphite pencil and white pastel. Love elephants!!  I wasn't sure what medium I was going to use to draw  this! I have a clay elephant ornament in my garden and that helped me to make up my mind! I was able to use it to get the effect of the rough texture of their skin. I enjoyed drawing with graphite and think I will use it more.

Coconut

Drawing #9
Pen and watercolor sketch

My drawing today...I have wanted to paint a coconut for a long time...this is a start!! I WILL paint this in oil, I love the different textures. I have so many ideas for drawings that I have made a list! I prefer to draw what inspires me on the day, but that does not always work!  Some drawings are harder than others and I will opt for a quicker one if  I am painting as well.
