Plums still life fruit by Linda Hunt

8X8"
 
Last Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market where I bought these blue-black plums.  I intended to eat them after painting but I think I waited too long.  Once again I used a preliminary drawing to establish my composition and value structure.  I think that my paintings are much more solid than in the past.  Glorious day today...couldn't be better...cool and sunny...although I worked with a light source in the studio I allowed some of sunlight to penetrate the room which accounted for a beautiful bluish tint to everything.

To purchase go to Etsy.  $110.00 plus shipping

Your plums are great! I've got a bunch of them in our fruit bowl. You've captured their essence perfectly.

J'adore la confiture de ces prunes-là à la menthe ! c'est délicieux... Nous sommes en pleine période !
Merveilleuse peinture. Les couleurs des fruits ont des déclinaisons superbes...
Gros bisous

I love this one. I love how the grays and cool colors contrasts and spike of yellow to finish it of.

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)
