#69 Picture Hook

Here we have another of the paintings of things that have come out of the house, I got fascinated by all the hooks and nails the previous owners had put it everywhere and started to collect some of the bits and pieces. This hook was in the staircase which was painted this rather bileous green colour, with 'matching' green carpet. I liked the way the dry paint is stuck to the hook here. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.

#68 Ammonite Fossil Fragment

This ammonite fragment has been knocking around our shelves for a few years, it got painted today while being filmed by Steve Knibbs from BBC Points West. Click here to see tonights programme.

#65 Ipod Nano

This is my partner Debbie's ipod, it is lucky to still be with us as it was run over some months ago but still continues to play. It just doesn't like turning off, painted today mostly because I was caught by the little orange indicator. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.

This is a Matryoshka or Russian Doll, I have painted the very smallest doll that fits inside all the others. An interesting painting challenge this, painting a painted object. This was borrowed from my friend Sandra who collects them, thank you! Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm click here to bid.

#63 Scrap of Wallpaper

I have been lining papering the bedroom in preparation for painting. I felt a scrap of lining paper was not the most interesting painting to make or look at so, I tore a scrap from the surplus wallpaper from the living room. It is a plush black and grey acanthus leaf pattern which was our DIY treat when doing up the living room. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.

#62 SIM Card

This is an old SIM card from an old mobile phone. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.

#61 Black and White Allsort

After all the colour I have been using recently, here is a nice (looking not tasting!) black and white liquourice allsort. The pallette for this painting did not include any black at all, just Titanium white, burnt umber, ultramarine blue, ultramarine purple and the tiniest fleck of cadmium orange. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.

#60 Orange Liquorice Allsort

Liquorice allsorts are one of those, rare, things that I love to look at but really dont like to eat! You can just see three of the little blue balls from another style of allsort in the bag that fell off the sweet when I placed it down ready to paint. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12xcm.
