Mustard and Garlic
6x8in oil on canvas panel $130. SOLD
Artist Note.
Paint and group things which "relate" was the
mantra at art school.
Example.
A flower would not go as well with radish,
onions and garlic as a jar of mustard would.
I always have flowers in my kitchen so
why not?
A casual flower like a daisy or sunflower
looks great with my blue and white dish towels
but I have tried mixing them with the veggies
and it just doesn't work.
But... I am an impressionist and
that could be why. Abstract them more
and I know it would work.
Missed day 22 posting but I did work on
completing several paintings.
That's looking like a snack! LOL:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful group of related objects all painted with care. An elevation of the mundane into something wonderful:)
What a nice comment - thanks Libby.
DeleteHope you enjoy your workshop with Peggy Kroll Roberts.
Lucky you!
I am so impressed by your mustard jar lid! (the rest of the painting is equally wonderful...but that lid is brilliant)!
ReplyDeleteThe lid - it is what says Grays Poupon isn't it?
DeleteThanks for the really neat comment. Almost as neat as your green apples!
I tried to comment on this from Leslie's blog earlier but it wouldn't let me. It was fun to find your painting. I have a hard enough time finding mine with those tiny thumbnails.This is really lovely!! I like that parts are going off the page.
ReplyDeleteOh Lordy...trying to even post on Leslie's blog is a challenge in its self. So slow. Must be so many people's work on it. I have tried to connect on so many but like you said...not connecting. Thanks for coming over.
DeleteI got a huge kick out of the pomegranate placement in your painting
Love the painting and thank you for the tip. I am in the process of radishes and onions. Looking forward to attempting it in oil tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will look forward to seeing it. Your fruit today has such lovely color.
DeleteFantastic garlic. Love the composition.
ReplyDeleteAnn it is a pleasure to have you comment. Thank you.
DeleteJulie, those radishes just sing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen. I like your tubes of paint.
DeleteJulie, you could put any juxtaposition together and it would work! You have such a great talent.

ReplyDeleteThanks for liking my colors, Cecile. I take it as a complement because your colors are wonderful!
Deleteso lovely. I too love the mustard top! but also love the onions next to the radishes. The whole painting glows.
ReplyDeleteThe onions with the green tops make a lovely foil for the radish.
DeleteMy daughter adores your chicken paintings.
Wow, that's some solid branding...the mustard jar lid is a classic! And the radishes, garlic & onions colors are so rich & wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLooks like little gems all clustered together. I love it naturally.
