Adding Carrots



Adding Carrots

8x6in  oil on canvas panel  $125. SOLD

Back in early January I was out of town taking
a workshop PLUS participating in the 30 in 30 days
Challenge. My self imposed goal was to paint only
things I had never painted before and this time it was
Turnips.
This is the painting.
I should have called it
Lonely Turnips!
Painted at night under
warm lights.








This time I painted in the daylight - cooler tones.
I went to the store and bought another turnip to get
the colors better and added carrots to make this
a much more complete painting.
Don't you agree the top painting has more interest?
At least it tells a story!

Artist Note.

I am really thrilled to be able to show two more
artists who are trying the fracturing technique.

Ann Feldman sent me a wonderful email telling
me about the excitement she felt over her first attempt.
and when I went to look I could see what a fabulous
job she did.
Ann Feldman (click on name to see work)
generously gave credit saying she enjoyed learning from
the Fracturing video and made me feel really great.

An ACRYLIC artist had a go and was very successful.
She adapted to the medium and used Golden open
acrylics for the end part. Her name is Anna Vremann
(click on name) She has a couple of fractured pieces 
on DPW. One is called Fractured Onions and is
 about 5 paintings in. Another is the Cardinal.
She shared in her email how much she had enjoyed
doing it.

I hope you go and look at these artist's work. .
It is not easy to try something new and then allow
other artist to pop in and comment.
I thank them very much.
