Compote with Fruit

 

 As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish

In the Mix

My time to paint is still limited though mostly for a good reason and that is that I have been preparing to have a small show of my work.  Therefore, I have been spending quite a bit of time framing and getting the paintings ready for hanging.  It's been good to have this to do as my art mojo has been really down lately.  My experience has been to not let that scare me too much but to instead to try to do a little something toward my art even when I don't always feel like it. 

This is a 9x12 inch acrylic on hardboard.

This is a rather traditional still life but done in a expressive, contemporary manner full of color.  Thanks for looking.

This went through lots of revisions until I was pleased with it.  Thanks for looking.
