Pears in a Blue Bowl #2

Here's another version of those two pears.  This one is done without a set-up; I painted this one more from an imaginative remembrance of the first one. 

Egg Plants and Lemons

Combining eggplants with lemons is probably an odd combination but I wanted to do a painting with a split complimentary color scheme.  It was great fun to paint it and it was so good to be in the studio again. My time in the studio will be intermittent as Hubby will be having surgery but I will grab what ever time I can find.

Thanks for looking.

Grapes in a Blue Bowl

I've been under the weather and Husband suggested that I take it easy but when you want to paint, you just want to paint.  But then he says I don't listen to him much.

Three Peaches

I showed this painting to one of my art buddies and she made some suggestions (Thanks, Tracy).  My first attempt at painting this was tight and I had fallen into trying to make it more realistic. Using the wet in wet method was not giving me the results that I wanted. Today, I mainly used thin layers of dry brush and painted over what I done earlier after reshaping the bowl and shadow.  To me, part of the beauty of acrylics, is that it can be transparent and that color can be built up in layers as it is in pastel, my other media.

My postings have been irregular and they will probably be more so in the near future.  Hubby may be facing back surgery and so I will painting when I can catch a few minutes.  I have a few other pieces in the works but I am trying to go slower and not post unless I am OK with it.  I'm trying to not feel so compelled to have something to post.

Thanks for looking.
