Plums - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas - SOLD

"Plums" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas

Plums are not one of my favorite fruits.  In fact, I bought these plums simply to paint with no intention of eating them.  (I gave them to a friend when I no longer needed them as a model).  Hopefully they tasted good as I picked them for their "paintability" (I think I just made that word up) and not for their "eatabiliy" (another new word, I believe).

I really like the composition on this one.  I think one of the tests of a good composition is that you can turn a painting in any direction and it will still look pleasing to the eye.

Bundle - 5 x 7 inches - oil on paper

"Bundle" - 5 x 7 inches - oil on canvas

Painting this asparagus was a real challenge.  I didn't want to paint every single stalk.  I started by painting the shape of the entire bundle and then gradually carved out some individual pieces.  I really liked painting the orange/pink rubber band that binds them together.  It has form so there is a small highlight at the top and a small shadow underneath.  Purchase info is below.
