Salsa Bowl with Melon

I received this lovely bowl for Christmas from a friend who made it in pottery class. She called it a salsa bowl, but I must confess I use it for more than just salsa.

Paperwhites

It was great to be able to have some time to paint after the last few busy weeks.
These paperwhites almost literally grew in front of my eyes. I started to paint them against a white background, but it wasn't working quite the way I had planned. I ended up painting Quinacridone Gold and Quinacridone Red in layers, adding Cerulean Blue at the end. I quite liked the contrast of the white petals against the rich colours.

Poinsetta with Candles

I have been getting into the Christmas Spirit. The painting seems to have an old-fashioned feel about it.

Japanese Mandarin

When I was growing up, one of the first signs of Christmas was getting a box of Japanese oranges.

Yesterday when I bought this box and peeled my first orange of the season, the smell brought back all those childhood memories.
