968 When Life Gives You Lemons

It was really fun to make this painting, and took quite awhile to plan and execute.  The vase is one of my favorites--in case you didn't guess, black and white is my favorite color combinations.  I really enjoyed painting the lemons, but not the teapot which has a very matte finish.  The background is my favorite part.  In my still life, it was one of my scarves, but I carved a potato and used it to print the circles.

What do you do when life gives you lemons?

554, Encore, In the Limelight

I like this lighting much better than yesterday's and am much happier with this painting and the larger format.

553 Citrus in the Limelight

I will be curious to see if I like this still life better with my usual dramatic lighting.  I do like the way the bowl is the star in this painting.

The grocery shopper in the family wonders where his produce disappears to.  (smile)

424 Two Plus One Times Two

I really enjoy setting up these still lifes with reflections.  For every painting, there are so many crazy set ups that just don't cut it.

418 Sour

Another painting with Jean Well's bowl.  I learn something new with each new painting, even though the cast of characters changes from painting to painting.
