Falling Out.
6x8in oil on canvas board 100.
On these small pieces I enjoy trying to paint something
challenging so I thought I would like to paint the lemons
with back lighting.
After painting and studying lemons in this series
my goal is to paint them from my imagination.
Artist Note
It was all a struggle on this piece. I had a different surface
to work on and I found it made a big difference. It was much
more difficult to achieve what I was after.
This is a Raymar, medium tooth, landscape cotton.
Great for landscapes but pretty tough for a fracturing technique.
That's the way I find out these things...the hard way!
Seriously,
I almost put a headstone in with the title, Lemons - R.I.P.
Beautiful! I just love your paintings.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. I thought your dog was great but then I saw the cat below on your blog and wow...such a great painting.
DeleteI always enjoy your paintings. You are very gifted.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely complement, thank you, Aase.
DeleteYour work has a beautiful quality of light.
Amazing work. I love your use of the bright blue on the shadow side of the lemons. In my humble opinion things learnt the hard way are less easily forgotten :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
You are correct and the painting I did today has used the lesson very well...I think. I do appreciate you commenting, Vinayak
Deletethis is beautiful and the fracturing is lovely! I love the shape of lemons - you captured them in a great way!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteLove your fracturing technique, Julie! I sometimes use a painting knife and paint shaper. Will have to add your tool to my arsenal soon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour lemon painting is wonderful!
Nice of you to comment, Dean. Glad you like the fracturing.
DeleteI agree with Vinayak this is amazing work. It's interesting and refreshing. I never get tired of looking at your paintings! It's always so wonderful to open my email and have one of your paintings greet me for the day!
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much your complement means to me. Thank you, T.J.
DeleteYour use of color is so beautiful, Julie.! I can't tell you enough..how I love this fracturing technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda. I am liking it too. Maybe because it holds my attention and I have to put effort into it.
DeleteColor palette like from van Gogh.
ReplyDeleteAnd a great light!
