Autumn Colours

I have been tempted to paint the comfortingly warm colours of autumn in my latest painting “Mulled Wine”.(see under Oils) The tonal colours make for a restful image and invite thoughts of cosy evenings to get us through the winter. Inspiration comes from many sources, this one was from seeing a row of copper pots and pans in an interior decorating magazine. I like my paintings to tell a bit of a story or for there to be link between the items chosen, so I chose objects that you need to make mulled wine, fruit wine and ground spices. The long format makes for an interesting composition.
