I painted this for a painting challenge on Rookie Painter. I've never entered a challenge before, and I was inspired by Linda Popple's entry. It is fresh and has an abstract quality I like.
I had a hard time getting the correct values on the lemon. It was a good exercise, though. I think I'd like to enter another challenge.

Lovely job! I saw this challenge also, it's a great composition. Terrific job, love that pop of green.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Virginia! I'm so glad to took up the challenge - and did such a good job with it. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting...composition is interesting and the color is fresh and alive!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to post paintings there? Nice lemons and shadows.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carrie. You should enter. Your apple painting is so beautiful, it makes me want to try apples next!
ReplyDeleteLinda P., I probably wouldn't have had the courage, but I've watched you entering different challenges, and that gave me the encouragement to try.
ReplyDeleteLinda H. Thanks for the nice comments. I think we all need encouragement to counter the little negative voices in our heads!
ReplyDeleteCaladh, the rules said to email a PDF of the painting, which I did. So I think at some point it will get posted.
ReplyDeleteOpps, not a PDF. A JPEG photograph.
ReplyDeleteI like the work you did on this, great rendition. And yes, your work is wonderful - you should do more challenges. It's a great way for others to find your work.
ReplyDeletethe yellow/violet palette is beautiful. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favourite, Virginia!
