Mixed Fruit



Mixed Fruit.


8x6in oil on canvas panel
THIS PAINTING HAS HAD A CHANGE - see 7/19/12

This is the last of my fruit paintings... for a while.
I have enjoyed working with the shapes and colors
but the yellow roses are starting to droop and I need to
finish the one I have started.
Painting walls in my new teaching space tomorrow
so may not have time for a blog. Stay tuned!

    More fabulous color and shape from you- I love this and all the round-y shapes that repeat.

    Love the term round-y shapes but that is exactly what I have enjoyed about the bowl and fruit. They create great negative shapes between them. Thanks, Mary

    I find it interesting to see that you with the same group of subjects can create such variety of compositions, lovely as usual.

    The depth and color richness you've achieved in these 3 paintings is enough to make a person salivate while looking!

      Thanks - I like the colors so much. I think it works because of the grays of the dishes.

    You finished up big Julie. I love the repeating layers of blue. You do have a knack for still life set ups that are energetic. Fresh paint on the walls is inspirational. Have fun tomorrow.

      Thanks mucho. I do not know what you are going to make of the changes I did to it when I returned from painting walls today.
      It was fine as it was but I could not let it be.
      Feeling better about it now. Do you make changes after you have finished?
