Farmers Market #15
Red cabbages.
8x6in oil on canvas panel $125.
Visiting the wonderful farmers market in Santa Cruz, CA.
Artist Note.
I got side tracked on my market series.
The red cabbages really attracted me to this particular
guy's stall.
Still have more FM to do because I haven't even got to the
flowers yet and you know how I like painting them.
My last two paintings I have worked more with the
palette knife and I wonder if it has anything to
do with the watercolor sketches I have been doing.
Thick versus thin?
I am off to Santa Fe for the weekend and am leaving
right after class in the morning. I am excited. Hubby will be
driving so I will paint all the way there and back.
Life doesn't get any better than this.
You always manage to bring several things into a cohesive and beautiful whole! Love it.

Sorry about the silence. I know I should be painting, but am distracted right now. I love your latest paintings. The colors in the sunflowers painting is lovely and the depth in the market painting is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuch incredible color and texture - your work is so unique, Julie - whether palette knife or bush, oil or watercolor! Have a great time to and from and in Santa Fe!
