Parsnip Trio
6x6in oil on canvas board $100. SOLD
Day 5 for the 30 in 30 days Challenge.
Here is another vegetable I have never painted before.
They are not the prettiest things, but do have neat
skinny ends. Their shape is similar a carrot, but unfortunately
they do not have a lovely color...reason not often painted?
It was hard to find them with leaves, but we have a farmers
market here and some were brought in just for me. Apparently
the reason you do not see them with leaves in the stores
they can give you a certain type of chemical burn.
Artist Note.
I am off to take a figure workshop in Albuquerque, NM.
It is for 5 days and I am very excited. I am going to continue with
the Challenge, but most likely I will have to paint my piece
after class. We will see. It may mean I will not have time
to look and comment everyone's blogs.
Stay in touch... please.
Julie, Love the parsnips! Have fun at the workshop...
ReplyDeleteLove these! Love the thick paint! Colors wow! Have fun at the workshop - looking forward to 'figures' as your next subjects.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a second, but I got it. Nice composition. Have fun at the workshop.
ReplyDeleteI've grown many parsnips over the years never had problems with the leaves though.
ReplyDeleteThese look very lifelike, which is very clever, considering how awkward they must be to paint.
Hope the workshop does well.
The parsnips are great - I love parsnips roasted mmmmmm. The colours you've used in the painting are wonderful
ReplyDeleteGreat composition. They are beautifully painted. Of course we will stay in touch......and I am so jealous! I cannot wait to see what you produce. Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Well done
ReplyDeleteso many strokes of so much color all come together to create pure joy on canvas. perfect!
ReplyDeleteoops, forgot...wishing you a creatively joyful and successful new year!
ReplyDeleteNão conheço esse vegetal, mas é muito interessante a tua pintura.
ReplyDeleteBom Ano 2013!

Nice composition, and I love the orangey red. Your parsnips are as pretty as your broom!
ReplyDeleteI had been out of the loop for a while, but just noticed several comments by you on my blog -- always a shot in the arm we all welcome! Enjoy your workshop!
love the composition. beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean about these, I've been wanting to make some out of porcelain, but hesitated, but the leaves do make all the difference. I think its the first time I've seen the leaves! Maybe the answer is to grow some myself, I bet they are not difficult ; similar to radishes and carrots which are easy. Lovely painting.

You have immortalized the lowly parsnip, Julie!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Looking forward to fractured figures!
I always admire how you manage to put so much stuff into such a small painting without it looking crowded and too much...on the contrary, your compositions are always on top ! Just look at how you managed to make this 'blah' colored vegetable look awesome surrounding it with color and dots ! Enjoy your workshop ! xox
ReplyDeletegorgeous, julie! i wish you wonderful workshop days! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove this one. Amazing how you make this look so appetizing.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen parsnips look so good..what a great job Julie!!!I love the simple subjects. Enjoy your workshop!!
ReplyDeleteDear Julie, schools of painting often put the student in front of objects more skinny is the challenge that teachers propose to bring out creativity and imagination and sense of composition,
ReplyDeleteYou are already a master of all these issues, so anything painted by you, becomes art!
Enjoy your workshop!
Julie, I am a fan for life. There is not one piece you've done since I found your blog that I haven't loved. Please forgive my last comment too. Sometimes I am not as funny as I think I am.
ReplyDeleteRecognized the parsnips immediately. Used them this weekend in a chicken soup. This painting is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful parsnips, Julie!!! Only you could make a parsnip look so amazing!! I didn't know about it giving chemical burns..very interesting!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I would love to meet you! I live here in Placitas,, just north of ABQ.
ReplyDeleteHello Julie:) Love this one. If you can touch them:) Beautiful depth. Wonderful done!
