NOT YOUR MAMA'S FRUIT BOWL!


A few days ago, I decided that I was a still life painter. So then I decided, if I am going to paint still life, I'm going to do it my way. I am not sure too many people would want this on their wall, or if the background overwhelms the fruit, but I kind of like it! I am open to suggestions. If you want to buy it, it's on my Etsy page.

Carol after my background on the peppers it stands to reason I like the red. Your still life glows and I can see it hanging on a perfect spot in someones kitchen. Enjoy your day. Honor

I like the background, as well as its combination with the blue foreground. It doesn't overwhelm the fruits in my opinion. It's an unusual and beautiful still life. Well done!

I love it. Great colors! I like the swan painting that precedes it too.

This is delightful in every way. I love especially the way the pineapple leaves add a spikey texture next to the other curvey shapes. It's full of life!

I love the saturated colours. I think this is lovely. Plus, true to your style, you capture light perfectly.
