“On a Ledge Series” – ‘Sleepy Monkey and Wooden Ducks’

Here we are again at that tidy window ledge, with more still life exhibits! The two ducks I pinched (Borrowed) out of my Daughter’s bedroom where their normal duty is to act as bookends and the monkey was from my Son’s room.  He had a jungle theme many years ago.  This particular still life was done in oil paint, though in the future I will post another of Sleepy Monkey and Wooden Duck (Only one duck next time!) painted in watercolour.

Looking again at this picture, I love how tidy my kitchen worktop is!! Maybe I should do more in this series!!! Below is an explanation of how this set of paintings was born for anyone who hasn’t seen others in the series.

Bored and uninspired one day, I stood in my kitchen wondering what I could draw? Whilst wondering I absent mindedly started tidying and rearranging things on the ledge. I’m not one for nice pot ornaments, rather have slightly wacky or weird decorative things around! So, as I now had a disarrayed pile of things I had moved and a clean window ledge – The idea struck me. I could use it as a little staging area for a series of still life pictures!!!

I Titled this painting – ” ‘EAR’, Where’s He gone?”

This little painting is the result of playing around one day with Old Master’s Works. I had the idea of ‘gelling’ together two different paintings by two different artists. Of course I can’t take any credit for their artworks in the first place, though I must admit to being very pleased with the idea I had. (It turned out to be a mini series of four so far) Though perspectively challenged I do like the fact that they have seamlessly gelled into one picture. To add to the quirkiness to Whistler’s Mother and Van Gogh’s Chair I think the title I gave it just adds a little fun!

‘ “On a Ledge Series” – Jack and Jill’

For those who have been keeping up with the rag dolls, ‘Jack and Jill’ – from my  “On a Ledge Series”, here as promised is the Oil Painted version. With the oil painting I feel there is somewhat more depth to the work top using the light and shade reflectively as shadows.  All the same subject but done in different media, each having a different feel to them. If you’ve not already, go check out The watercolour version and the pastel version which can also be found in Still Life. There are several more different studies to come in the future of different subjects on the ledge

Below is how I came up with the idea of ‘On a Ledge Series’ for those who have not already seen them;

The idea for “On a Ledge Series” was born.  Above is one version of ‘Jack and Jill’, two little rag dolls my daughter brought home from a trip abroad. This particular one is done in watercolour. Other posts of Jack and Jill for the future will be a version in soft pastel and one in oils.

‘Hold It!’

This is another in my series of ‘Red Abstracts’. The images on this painting seem to alter vastly depending on which way this picture is hung. I have chosen to edit it as it was painted with the fine person being tickled pink with a single feather and the drip almost a drop!
