Yet more chillies

I'm back studying and cant seem to find the time to try and paint at all, but these three chillies came in the veg box yesterday, and they were such great colours and shapes, that I figured I had to give them a go. Anyway, my eyes are killing me, I needed a break.

I feel so so so out of practice, I'll never improve if I keep forgeting everything. I enjoyed doing this though, although I stoopidly ruined a jumper by lazily not changing and then sort of hugging the palette! duh.

Quick Quinces

I desperatly wanted to paint something sort of seasonal, seeing as how everything is turning and changing so I went out and picked two quinces from where they grow at the back of the garage. They are such a fab golden yellow , they just say Autumn to me.
No one here is very enthusiastic when I cook them for some reason .

  I like the colours, and I sort of like some of the brushstrokes, but I've lost the shape of the quince and have no idea what is going on with the shadows.

It seems they are fated to be neither cooked nor painted well by me.
