Perhaps I'm dreaming of summer, wanting to paint oranges and lemons. They are a nice shock of colour. Wondering if I added enough darks to the oranges? Maybe not 3-D enough. I thought about this while I was painting but then stopped myself from going further. I was conscious of wanting to keep it light and bright - but not sure if they now are reading too flat. Will have to experiment with that.
Well, this is the flower that keeps on giving. There it sits in my studio, still looking good! I put it on a piece of frosted glass for this arrangement. I will be taking the next couple of days off but will continue to post images from my St. Nicholas series. To all my readers, I send wishes for a warm and relaxing next few days. Cheers!
I had two pieces of fruit in my studio: this little apple and a grapefruit. I played with stacking them but it looked like I was trying to create some kind of weird, fruit snowman. So I just stuck with the little apple. Once I threw the bowl in there the composition got a bit more interesting.
