Green Bananas and Eggplant

Push push pushing....this painting is a 20"x16" oil painting on stretched cotton canvas.  I am happy with the painting the way it is but am reserving the right to work more on it if it requires additional information.  There are many things that I am still learning from the Lori Putnam book and DVD.  A wealth of knowledge is contained there in.  With this painting I was taken with the golden feeling in the painting.  I stained my canvas with a darker golden color which you can see in the parts left unpainted.  This is truly breaking new ground for me and I am having a lot of enjoyment.  The palette was a little different because the bananas were so green.  The juxtaposition with the deep purple eggplant was one that I liked very much. 

Eggplant and Hibiscus

I had fun painting this one today.  Eggplants are such a luscious vegetable with rich colors and reflections.  I am getting more used to my Rosemary brushes and now realize that they hold paint very well and the stroke is smooth. 

Eggplant and Glass Vase

It has been a couple of days since I painted and I felt very rusty but I pulled together a little painting. It is Memorial Weekend and it has been a quiet relaxing time. Wishing you all a happy Memorial Day!!
