An apple a day II

 I have submitted another apple painting to web.mac.com/micheloosterhout/anappleaday/about.html.This is something I posted on the 17th of February 2011.

"May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future."

Blue vase 2

I bought a set of three little vases from a charity shop,this is the second one I've painted.I would say the simplest shapes are the hardest to paint.Capturing the roundness of a vase or teacup for me is a struggle at the moment and yet its what I want to paint the most.I finally got a call from the museum,one out of the two paintings I submitted for the competition has been shortlisted,and it will be part of the exhibition until February.

Lunch at the park

I love feeding the birds in the park,especially in winter.Only this time I took my camera with me.I would dearly love to adopt a more loose style of painting,I think this time I have achieved it.Mostly though I'll paint something and then can't resist neatening up the edges.Hopefully the more I paint the more relaxed I will become in my style.
