Ceramic pots with hibiscus

Ceramic pots with Hibiscus

This is the same painting at different stages - the background morphed several times in the painting. First it was light, then the shelf under the pots was dark (bottom photo), then the background was all dark. I painted in some foliage in a vase at one stage, then painted it over. Nothing seemed to work with these pots.

Finally I added a Hibiscus from the garden.

 I have now rearranged the shelf next to my easel so there is enough space for me to create an arrangement before painting it. It's my little 'Margaret Olley' corner. I should have done it before I started my current spree of painting domestic items, but better late than never.

I have put my recent 'porcelain paintings' online at artsmitten.com.

The blue porcelain duck looks down at me from the shelf and smiles. Quack!

I make cards from some paintings to sell at my local coffee shop (below). Originally I made cards with paintings of local places as they seemed to fill a gap.

Then I discovered that birthday cards were really what was wanted, so I added them to the collection. Of course they can be bought online as well.
