Still Life: Passion Fruit, Yellow Knife - Day One cont

I couldn't resist returning quickly to paint the plate and background.

Still Life - passion fruit, yellow knife. Day One.

 Another day, another still life. I'm painting the darker and more colourful areas first.

Still Life - Pear, Knife, Plate - Day Three

Day three. This painting is much looser in style than my other still life.  I think I like it. I've decided to leave it for now. I might come back and add a little bit more, but want to preserve the sketchy style of this one.

Still life: 'Pear, Knife, Plate' Day Two

Day two of the imaginatively titled still life 'Pear, Knife, Plate'. I'm painting with a restricted colour palette.

New Beginning - still life pear, knife and plate

I'm painting over the landscape with a still life of a pear, knife and plate. We'll see where this goes...

Landscape - evening 3

Meh. I decided to scrub it, rub it, out. Wasn't really grabbing me by the balls. Strangely enough, I sort of like how it looks scrubbed out....ready for a new beginning.

Landscape evening 2

Second evening painting this landscape. Have to say, I'm not getting inspired. There's a lack of tension which I feel might be the result of not getting the picture directly from observing nature.
