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.

Solitary

This acrylic is actually from a pastel that I did several years ago.   I've always liked the composition and decided to redo it acrylics.  The pastel was a lot more realistic but that's not my goal this time.  Instead I am trying to go much more loose and abstracted.  Thanks for looking.
