White Ice Iris painting in oils

I still haven't got around to cataloguing my paintings so far, so not sure which number I am up to.

The next two paintings are of white bearded irises, which is one of my favourite flowers. It is very majestic when it blooms.

Garden 101 series No.2 - Lemons Oil Painting, It takes three to tango

It takes three to tango - Lemon painting
by Marion Hedger
Garden 101 daily paintings series No.2
22 x 27cm, oil on canvas board.
For Sale 40€ 

Number two in the series of lemons picked fresh from the tree. My lemon tree is very prolific and produces these lovely lemons all year round. I like the light effect in this one. Painted alla prima in front of a sunny window. Those shadows moved so fast.

"I have challenged myself to paint 101 small daily life paintings inspired by my garden. My main aim is to improve my my eye to brush skills with a loose lively style. At the moment I plan to use oils, so that as a bonus I will improve my oil handling skills. I don't doubt that some will be done in different media depending on how the mood takes me. I aim to do at least 5 a week."

Landscape Impressionss V and VI - abstract gouache paintings

These two use the same colour combinations, one with a high horizon line and the other with a low one.

12.5x17.5cm (5"x7") Gouache on canvas board
coated with acrylic varnish.

These little paintings make an ideal gift
The varnish on this little gouache painting gives it a tough,
resilient coating that protects it from moisture and means it can be framed without glass.
It has been mounted on black MDF board to fit directly into an 18x24cm frame

These have given me the idea of doing a series with limited colour combination maybe red and yellow, blue and green and so on.
