Clementine Glow
6x6in oil on gallery wrapped canvas $100. SOLD
It must the color orange against the blue cloth that made these
clementines appear to glow as I was painting them.
Artist Note.
This is a painting I did a couple of weeks ago for my blog when I knew
I would be busy with my workshop.
I have painted these before, but in a different arrangement.
I cut the slice out instead of tearing the peel. I wanted a bit of a sharp edge.
The workshop was fabulous - the way it can only be when everyone
clicks as a group. What a joyful experience and the work accomplished
was amazing.
The next one starts on Wednesday and I am looking forward to it.
After that I go on vacation!
I have a neat app to share on my next post. If you do not have it yet
I promise you will love it.
Julie your colors are beautiful and I agree that those clementines glow. So beautiful. Like the sliced edge too - it adds a lovely touch. Hope you have a great vacation and some well deserved rest and relaxation.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always. I am particularly fond of the orange, blue scheme. Finally had some painting time today......it does renew us, doesn't it? We are vacationing at the same time.....Puget Sound, here I come!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color scheme and I like your painterly approach. Have a great time on your vacation!
ReplyDeleteoh so you leave us with a teaser! now I must know about the app! Beautiful painting---love the texture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combinations and arrangement! They do have a glow to them.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back again and I am glad the workshop was a success. I love the colors in this. As you say, orange is lovely with pale blues and grey. I especially love how you made the slice, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Julie! I love the rich leaves attached to the oranges still. Where are you going for vacation? I'm wishing I could head off somewhere myself. Even Calgon sounds good right now! LOL
ReplyDeleteDelicious color!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and brush work in this piece! Lovely!
Beatiful still-life painting, love it!
ReplyDeleteThis painting certainly glows as well. Blue and orange are a favorite and so are these clementines.
ReplyDeleteThis combination of blue and orange is really good. I like such contrasts of temperature very much.
ReplyDeleteIt does glow indeed, Julie! The colors in this one remind me strongly of Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm...Now where did I hide that egg nog?
The wonderful blue & orange is my initial WOW.....but the thing that holds my attention is the wonderful edge handling here...the top back edge of that clementine to the right, just rolls back into that dark shadow....great depth
ReplyDeleteOops, my iPad froze up mid sentence, anyways - I could stare at this one a long time!

ReplyDeleteThis painting is like an inlay of color, light and shadow, which has a continuous vibration that enchants the viewer!
I love the bold contrasts here , the dark background really makes the clementines sing , such great light !
ReplyDeleteI think it is the Julie Ford Oliver touch that makes these oranges glow........
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
