Sweet


Grapefruits are one of my favorite fruits to paint. I love the lush interior and the bright yellow skins. In this painting I also focused on the fabric and tried to slightly indicate the folds and changes of light. I loved the polka dots and felt that they set the painting off!

Linda, me too, lol... Have to get this work done. Maybe paint them later? HA! I'm certain everyone understands as they are no doubt in the same spring situation. Loving the grapefruit, the soft colors are making me feel spring like!

Lovely color combination. My favorite bit is the glass jar. I like the distorted image of the grapefruit and spoon handle through it. Nice job!

This is wonderful- love all the grapefruit colors. I buy them for my Mother in Law so may have to keep one to try:) Fun painting. I think we all understand that there are other things we all need to do! Take care.

Nice composition! I love grapefruit when they are pink. Do you know blood oranges? They are also reddish-pink inside.

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)
