Pansies and leaves

Apple and lime

 The other day I bought some red apples and was so impressed by their colours that I had to put brush to canvas! I added the lime so the painting has more colour. I hope you like it! x

Fan dancing

Oil on canvas board
7 x 5"
Sold

This painting's title is a pun, playing with the words fan and fun, whose pronunciations are quite similar. Dancing flamenco with a fan is definitely fun!

I just can't get tired of painting dancers!
There are so many different perspectives and postures that you can paint in flamenco dancing.

I hope you all enjoy this. x

Home grown tomatoes

Oil on canvas board
7 x 5''
Sold

I couldn't resist painting a couple of tomatoes that I personally picked up at my parents' house. Their colours, their shape and their smell were amazing. It is a shame we can't paint smells! After the shot, these tomatoes were the key ingredient of my mum's delicious gazpacho.

Framed painting

I was so happy to receive this lovely picture from one of my buyers. I did this painting as a commission last year. I loved the landscape and now the painting looks great framed.

Cala flower

Oil on canvas board
7 x 5''
Sold

A couple of days ago I posted a painting of a vase of cala flowers. I still felt like dedicating a whole canvas to this beautiful flower: its simplicity, shape and colours.

Sangria

Oil on canvas board
7 x 5''
Sold

Most of you will know what 'sangria'means. Back home they normally prepare it in a ceramic jug, so it keeps cool for longer. I like making mine with lots of pieces of orange and apple with a touch of cinnamon! Yum! Perfect for a sunny day :)

Back home, my family has a big garden, which is home to some hens and roosters. I have been brought up looking at how my dad takes care of them. I have tons of pictures of hens, chicken and specially roosters.  Just love their multicoloured feathers -a challenge to paint!

I enjoyed my recent trip to the Royal Deeside so much that it gave me so many ideas for painting. I was amazed by the views, the river Dee, the mountains, the wild animals: especially, highland cattle (hence, this painting).  Scotland is beautiful!

Meadow of tulips

Oil on wooden palette
20 x 30 cm
Sold

It's been a while since I last painted on a palette. The other day the idea of a meadow of tulips crossed my mind and I was curious of how it would look on a palette, rather than a canvas. 

The painting is still wet, but soon I will post another picture of how it will look displayed on a plate stand.
