In December 2023 l'm posting to this thread Christmas theme paintings. The paintings/drawings can be daily or other kind new or old still life paintings but somehow related to the theme. The goal is to post 24 ... maybe I manage to post less .. or maybe even 25 paintings. This is a perfect way...

Here are some oil paintings from the window very early in the morning in Almeria, Spain. I wanted to repeat the view to see how different sky, mountain and sea are each morning. I wanted also practice sun rises. There were mornings that were simply dull and didn't inspire to paint. I spent time...

Sunshine appeared here for November darkness so my camera man took a new photo of this still life. Also the painting is now more dry. The other photo I posted to still life forum earlier is taken by me inside my studio without lights on b/c it would have only given a glare to painting. Here in...

"Cat Surrounded by the Pumpkin Flowers" - WIP, oil on canvas, 54x40 cm. From the sketches I did before this painting I ended up trying this larger painting. My own Bengal cat is the model here. The flowers and pumpkin were growing in my garden in the summer time.

"Cat and a Pumpkin", about 25x35 cm, oil sketch on linen canvas piece. This is another pumpkin sketch of my cat, I don't quite like the space between those two: maybe overlapping would be better. Now they are too separate, maybe. There are areas for example cat's eyes and the cat itself that...

Oil on canvas linen piece, about 30x40 cm so not very big. "Spooky Halloween Cat". I wanted to make a sketch to study different poses & compositions. This was a quick daily painting and I didn't continue it any further because I was on a test mission here: what would work and what not. But goes...
