Pears - updated
I recently sold this painting at the Exeter Art Society Summer Exhibition, to a lovely couple on holiday in Sidmouth. I had updated it to remove the doorframe in the background as it just didn't work.

Elena's Hearts - Little Bird
I have a collection of hearts hanging around my kitchen, most of them given to me by my husband, one or two by friends and family. I thought they might make cute paintings and I am thinking about maybe getting them made into cards - something that I haven't tried before! These are pastels on the usual board and are approx 7" x 7". NFS

Black Ink
I liked this composition when I had put it together but unfortunately I started it too small (approx 12"x12"), so I couldn't put in the kind of detail I like. Pastels on Colourfix primed board.

Gilded Duck
A quick pastel of this lovely old gilded duck that sits on my shelf. Bliss to be using pastels again!

A Cacophony of Books
Another acrylic painting - still an uphill struggle! I keep forgetting just how much I hate lettering. But I love the look of the books so I will just have to keep going. I might do a pastel next just for the enjoyment of it.

Obsolete
This was an absolute pain in the neck!! I thought it was a good idea but didn't really think through how I would get it to work! I'm also still struggling with acrylics, even though I have the Atelier interactives as well - they just don't want to blend. Not my best effort but a useful exercise in 'think before you paint'.
