The Limes ran away with the Spoon.

The influence for this pretty pink artwork was the nursery rhyme line 'The dish ran away with the spoon.'
When I was painting this canvas the limes and green jug were reflecting into the silver of the spoon, also the sky light overhead reflected blue from the sky. It is a fresh colour palette with the green and pink complimenting each other. The pretty green ceramic jug is one that is used for salad dressing or chinese sauce when having chinese dinner.
The pink is slightly more subdued than the photo, just a bit, for some reason the camera made it a little darker. Just a touch. Thanks for looking at this artwork.

I am an artist and painter, living and painting in a mid century timber weatherboard cottage with 70 year old gardens and trees, in the beautiful Blue Mountains of NSW. The Blue Mountains are listed as World Heritage and my surroundings give me so much inspiration for my art.

I love all things vintage, love of recycling, reusing and redoing.

Working more than 5 decades in a purchasing role for large companies, so now I can follow my love of painting art again.

Working with oil paint mostly, as I love the buttery thick texture it brings to an artwork. I use the pallet knife also in my work as the consistency of oil paint responds beautifully to this technique.
I love to paint many different types of artworks, including still life, landscape, naive, portraiture and impressionist abstract.

My paintings are always many layers of paint so it gives depth and texture to the artwork.

I hope you enjoy looking at my art.

There is a lot of love gone into every one of my paintings and I hope that you can feel that.

I meet every week with other artists to paint and exchange ideas and enjoy their company.
