I've been working on a larger painting, so I wanted to do a small study today. This is a totally different style than the pear. Much more informal. I actually like this better than the pear.
I don't have an expensive camara, plus it's a cloudy day, so I don't think the colors are true. I think the colors in the painting are richer.
7" X 9" oil on canvas panel.

lovely composition! the shadows look so real!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I enjoyed trying to make a two-colored shadow--half on the white and half on the gray.
ReplyDeleteWow,Mom, I can tell you are really improving! These are so nice!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Virginia!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, when do you sleep? LOL! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Virginia I really like the outlines here. They add a nice graphic quality.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane ! I'm all over the place as I learn. Just trying different things. Glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteHi Virginia, I like your strong composition in this study...how you broke the edges... the lemon on the right, the cutting board..creates interesting negative shapes. The left lemon nearly toughing the left edge creates a tension and its pointy end directs the eye back into the painting! This study is a wonderful example, too, of having one corner different.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, thank you so much for visiting and commenting! I'm an admirer of yours for several years now, and I really appreciate your taking the time to evaluate and post on my painting.
