30 in 30 Day 1

Leslie Saeta has once again invited artist to join her in the challenge '30 in 30' where artists paint and post their paintings on her blog for 30 days. I have joined in a couple of times before and find that not only is it a good discipline and motivation but it is also fun to see the work of the other artists around the world. This year there are over 1000 artists taking part.
To see their work go to Leslie's blog 

This is the first one for me

Imari Bowl with Grapes & Satsumas 8" x 8" oil

I love painting this Imari bowl . It isn't just the colour but I love the shape too. It goes so well with various fruit.

Life's a Bowl of Cherries

Before I eat the cherries I decided to have another paint of them. This arrangement is a bit more formal. I had to include my tube of 'Rose Dore Madder Lake Antique Extra' Old Holland paint.
I love the names they have.

Cherries

I saw some lovely plump cherries in the shop, couldn't resist them. I tried out a couple of compositions before deciding to try this random grouping.
