Loose watercolour of objects in my kitchen. Thankfully I managed to put down the washes in one go without fussing with them which ruins the effect and natural beauty of watercolour washes.

I'm working a lot with oils and acrylics recently so 'one go' washes are something I've got out of practice with.

Want to do a load more spontaneous watercolours. Plenty of room for improvement.

Often when I buy fruit or vegetables I just want to draw or paint them. The shapes, the colours that's what I see. A friend looking at some large paintings I did of lemons asked me puzzled, '....why lemons?'.

For me everything I see is a visual feast. The colour, shapes, the effect of light!

Anyway a side effect of this visual passion is fruit and vegetables that often go off! There they sit in my kitchen, no longer 'just' shopping but the stars of future drawings and paintings.... 'just as soon as I get around to it' of course.

This pear is one that didn't get away, it only took ten minutes to paint and afterwards it tasted delicious!
