Still Life with Chrysanthemums, Daisies and Russets

Still Life with Chrysanthemums, Daisies and RussetsThis is an original oil painting of a selection of flowers (Chrysanthemums and Daisies) and russet apples. I wanted to explore the contrast in texture between the objects: the soft petals, the shiny ceramic of the jug, and the woven cloth. Unframed size 30. 4cm (H) x 30. 4cm (W) x 1 cm (D) (approx 12 x 12 inches). Additional information: This original artwork was painted on Board using high quality Michael Harding oil paints and finished with Gamvar

An original plein air painting of the Oxfordshire countryside as seen from a back lane

and the rhythmic nature of the waves hitting the rocks

I loved how the fields are absolutely teeming with flowers at this time of year

I stopped at the edge of the tarn and painted the reflection of the slopes and the sky on the cool water

where a natural composition was created with iceberg roses climbing upwards and framed against the limpid blue sky

Although the bright sunlight shone down upon the ornate Italian marble with caryatids and arched niches

I wanted to capture the mood of the Grand Canal shortly before sunset

I absolutely loved this slightly overcast scene
