Lemons again. I enjoyed trying to get the different planes and colors that are in the lemons.
The water glass was a new challenge. I've tried to paint a water glass only once, and I think this is better than my first time. My ellipse isn't great, though. The thing I like best is the shadow of the glass.
I started this painting two days ago and was very unhappy after several hours. Today I was tempted to just start a new painting, but I lectured myself and made me try to finish this one. I'm glad I did; I need the discipline! I'd always rather start something new...a fresh canvas, a new possibility. But I don't want to have a bunch of unfinished paintings, so I trudged on.
These were the same lemons I used in my prior painting. When I was cleaning up today, I discovered that they were getting very soft. Several days in the set up and hours under the light hastened their demise! I'll have to find another subject for my next painting.

I love your glass! These are excellent!
ReplyDeleteI like the reflection of the lemons caught in the glass.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with paintings that I don't feel are going well - I just keep trying into it comes out or ends up in a big mess, but I hate to leave them unfinished!
What lovely lemons!!!! I've noticed a lot of bloggers are using yellow in their paintings this week. So bright and sunny, great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leslie. I'm glad you like it.

ReplyDeleteCarrie, thanks for visiting. I think that possibly we will see someone's painting that we like, and it makes us want to paint a similar subject. I know when I saw your beautiful apple painting, I wanted to paint apples also!

I'm glad you lectured yourself to finish this one: it's very nice. I like the reflection of the lemons in the glass.
ReplyDeleteHi, Johanne. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteReally nice with the limited palette and great subtle values!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive for only a second attempt at a water glass! Love the touches of yellow reflected in it, you've done a great job and I hope to see more glasses on your blog :)
ReplyDeleteMy teacher told me that lemons are one of the hardest to paint. I think you did a wonderful job.
