Still Life 5

This painting is 20 x 24 inches.  The background behind the white cloth is a very dark purple almost black with some soft fabric folds that aren't visible here.  I am still messing around with my camera trying to eliminate issues like this so the photograph is a duplicate of the painting, just a little off here.

Wrapping up a still life

Lately this still life has demanded my attention.  This is a 20 x 24 oil on hardboard.  It is very wet and the photograph is showing some glare.    Now it needs to sit and dry for a week and then I will know if it is a finished painting.

Getting carried away with cherries and having fun. Maybe I've had my fill for now, maybe not, just bought more from the market.

The stem of the cherry is about to knock on the pear, it looks like a little fist.  I used a different surface that had a little more texture the sides are 3/4 inch painted finished edges. this does not need a frame.

This is one of the times when less is better.  It really is all about the red cherry.

This pear was very green and it stayed like that as it ripened. The cherries couldn't wait around.  Glad the fruits had some time together.

Lemons and cherries

This painting has more grayed colors and less detail than some of my more recent paintings.  The lemon slices farthest back are represented as shape and color, just enough detail to be recognizable.  One of my styles of painting is realism and lately a 20 x 24 painting has been drawing my attention.  My intention will be to keep the daily paintings looser in between those painting sessions.
