Apples in the sun

There has been a delay in posting and also a break  in painting. the last post was sent whilst we were still in Belgium and about to travel back to UK.  Then I did something a bit silly, and unplanned. Dreaming of escaping from a gorilla I threw myself out from  a rocky ledge backwards onto a sandy bank. But I was dreaming and it my bed, not a  rocky ledge and a hard floor not a soft bank.  Nothing broken though, but a bit of bruising and stiffness, yes. No painting for a little while. But here are three little paintings from around that time.  They are more like thoughts for a future painting

#8 sunny plate and apple

mixed media  sketch on paper 15 cm x 15 cm

#9 green turns to yellow

Autumn Leaves

Either this way up

or rotated through 90 degrees, which is the way it was made, and which you can see here

Either way it is "falling leaves" an acrylic collage on paper 15 x 12 cm

It is a little smaller that those I have published so far and is a response to the coming of autumn and the rattling and flying leaves in Parc Parmentier as they fly down to become compost.
