Portrait sketch after Waterhouse

Decided to try a portrait sketch again today. Have been drawing a lot, and hope this will eventually show in the portraits. Today I copied a face from a painting by John William Waterhouse...

Still life with napoleon candy

Today I had a go at painting a napoleon candy again. Difficult to find the right balance between fuzziness and sharpness in this subject.. See also the movie on youtube.

Still life with small cherry

A local art dealer asked me some time ago to if I could paint a couple of small paintings for art show 'Prima Vera' in february. (www.salonprimavera.nl) So if the show goes on (haven't heard from the dealer for some time), this one is reserved...

Still life with bottle and apples

Having a bit of bad luck lately: last week I got the flu. It hit me rather accutely, and I fainted. I must have hit something (the ground?) because when I woke up again, lying on the sidewalk, I had a bruised rib and a concussion. So I spent last week in bed mainly, and still feeling a bit dizzy. I thought I'd post a work-in-progress therefore. I've been working on this painting (and a landscape) for about 2 weeks. Hope to finish it this or next week..
