I stole these limes from a friend ... I’m not much of a lime fan and never buy them. For whatever reason, she had about a dozen leftover from Thanksgiving…. she mentioned something about Margaritas. I didn't realize that was traditional as I'm used to the basics: turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.In any case, I wanted a strong light source to show the translucence of the limes. I added subtle touches of yellow-orange here and there which add a nice, warm glow. I tried to keep my brush strokes loose and expressive and not get too bogged down with detail.

Fun study, Laurie...
ReplyDeleteTrying to get the light source to show the translucence is really the key isn't it??
You are brave, a tough challenge and it worked out nicely, really like the way you handled the shadows too and the color combination is a good one. Not sure about Margaritas on Thanksgiving either - but it's better than having turducken - trust me -
