The damaged brass jug and oranges 15"x18" 38cmx46cm

This is a classic setting -which I have tried to avoid recently - but this damaged brass jug must have touched me... and of course the light on it and the reflexion of the fruits was an interesting challenge. This painting was done in 2 sessions of 3hours.

Un challenge interessant que donne  cette nature morte  , lumiere et reflexion des fruits  sur le cuivre .

Ce travail a ete fait en 2 seances de 3 heures.

Corn field

 I found difficult to decide when this painting should be finished (one of my recurrent problem!)  I liked what was at the top and bottom but never satisfied with the center which was after all the subject of this painting.After reworking it I felt good so this definitely told me this was the end.
 Underneath is one of the version  I rejected.

Version rejetee

Il m'est difficile de savoir quand une peinture est finie, je n'etais pas satisfaite avec le champ de mais, sujet de ce tableau. J'ai retouche plusieurs fois celui-ci  pour enfin arriver a la version du haut qui me plait!

A winner ! Le Vast 16"x20" 40x50cm

Reville en Juillet 2015

                                                        
July  2015
A hot day, the scenery is constantly changing, I have to be very fast!   I painted this on a black heavy paper( and gesso )which seems to have darken all hues creating a "stormy" effect. I quite like it.

Juillet

Il fait tres beau, la scene change constamment , il fait faire vite! J'ai travaille sur un paper epais ,traite avec du gesso et une couche d'acrylique noir ce qui a assombri toutes les couleurs , cela donne  un effete d'orage qui me plait...

2 variations of a painting

The blue horse 60cmx50cm

 

I entered this painting late month for an exhibition ,the subject being The horse. I have no horse, did just a bit of riding when I was younger therefore I had no idea what to do till I realised that I had a horse at home ! a sculpture of one of the four famous Marly horses ( their replicas can be seen on the Concorde Place in Paris.)

Cette peinture a ete presentee - le sujet Le cheval- au salon des Cascades a St Pierre L'Eglise le mois denier. Je n'ai pas de cheval et ai tres peu monte , aussi je me suits decidee pour une sculpture d'un cheval de Marly que j'avais a la maison (la replique de ces chevaux peut etre vue sur la Place de la Concorde, Paris
