The third in the set of four small landscapes featuring the scenery of Provence, France and showing the vineyards, fields and distant mountains.

I love the purple and yellow ochre colours of the provence landscape in July. The lavender and sunflower fields with a backdrop of the mountains are made to be painted. I have deliberately kept this loose with no real detail to try to capture the overall feel of the countryside.

Beautiful Daffodil - Garden Series 101 Oil paintings

Beautiful Daffodil

by Marion Hedger

Garden 101 daily paintings series No.9

22 x 27cm, oil on canvas board.

I've jumped ahead as the photos of numbers7 and 8 did not come out and I will have to retakes them. I had some beautiful daffs this year but sadly they are mostly all gone now. There is nothing that quite matches that lovely yellow colour throughout the garden after the winter. A real heralding of better things to come.

I quite like the way the brushstrokes are visible on this one. I managed to avoid overblending and I love the result. 

"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."

Orange Slice, Daily 101 #6 oil painting

'Orange  Slice' oil painting

Garden 101 daily paintings series No.6

22 x 27cm, oil on canvas board.

Number 6 in the garden 101 series - I have been keeping up with my paintings but not with my photography. I took a load of photos this morning so will gradually post more. I enjoyed this one. I love the way the orange slice turned out, and apart from the sharp corner at the bottom of the glass, I am very pleased. I still need to go a little thicker with the paint. I used a little linseed oil a a medium in this one.

Garden series 101 #5, Orange Tea, oil painting

'Orange  Tea' oil painting

Garden 101 daily paintings series No.5

22 x 27cm, oil on canvas board.

Number five in the series of oranges picked fresh from the tree. I cut the oranges to give the segments, and to add something different I placed a cup sideways to give the composition more depth and also add to the challenge! I like painting orange segments - strange I know, but they are challenging to paint with their rounded ends and the light hitting the flesh.
