Strawberries

I've decided to go a bit bigger with this composition...25cmx30cm.In Luton there is only one decent picture framer that I know of and he is extremely busy and because I have to submit about ten paintings for an exhibition on Tuesday,my only choice was to paint some on stretched canvas.This is one of them.
I had to take a photo and there is some glare so I will try to take a better picture in daylight tomorrow.

Strawberry Split

I bought these strawberries yesterday from the supermarket,they just looked so good I could'nt pass this opportunity up to paint them.This dish is something I picked up from a charity shop last winter but the pattern looked so difficult I put off using it.It proved quite  a challenge but thats what you need sometimes,to keep pushing yourself.

Strawberries and Spice

My lovely friend Tracy bought this spice jar for me,and I've finally plucked up the courage to paint it.The brown spidery looking things next to the strawberries are called star anise and they are lovely added to basmati rice or my personal favourite in a cup of green tea.If you have a cold its especially good for warding off infections.Just pop one in your tea and enjoy the aniseed flavour.

Brush With Strawberries

This is my entry for this weeks challenge on the DailyPaintworks which is to "paint what you paint with".I bought some beautiful English strawberries and liked the idea of combining the two.

A Pear and some Strawberries

I've finally managed to paint this composition.I'm not entirely happy with it but it's such a relief to be painting again and that is a reward in itself. : )

Strawberries and a Flower

I have no idea what type of flower this is but I think it seems to go well with the strawberries.I've started

spring cleaning and I am exhausted.........and then I could'nt work out what to paint and the composition.....and then THE BACKGROUND.This is what I have most trouble with and takes the longest to work out.By the way this is painting number 99!!

Strawberries on Pink

I loved painting these strawberries and  fabric background .I used my camera to find a view I liked ,its much easier than a viewfinder.
