Roma Tomato


February 2, 2010

Another very chilly and rainy day today and it makes me want to huddle in my studio and paint. These very luscious tomatoes became a wonderful BLT before they were painted. Because they are small I had to cut them lengthwise to fit a sandwich. It was very tricky. They were sweet and beautiful in rich red and red orange color.

I like this Linda. Nice red and orange hues against the grey silver tray.

You make it look so easy. These are beautifully gestural and could function very well as abstractions.
Beautiful color and wonderfully loose. This painting is a delight to view!

I am enjoying landscape painting so much.  It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use.  They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
