FRUIT COCKTAIL, 16X20, OIL

A break from all the abstract weird stuff I have been posting. This is an oil I painted last year when I was all about fruit. I positioned the fruit on my dining room glass top table, in front of a window. I found it to be interesting and fun and completed it alla prima. In fact, just looking at this post is making me think a nice still life would be fun!

now now... it's not weird, it's wonderful. I think one of the very first pieces of yours that attracted me to your blog involved a coffee or tea cup on your glass table. I am studying the way you rendered your fruit here because I like it so much.

Wow, you did such a nice job with the pineapple! I imagine it must have been a challenging fruit to paint. The reflections on the table in this painting are beautiful and really add some magic to this one. Lovely!

Carol, Such a nice harmony with the colors.

Quite an adventurous subject...a glass table in front of a window! You should definitely do more still lifes. I like your spirit. You will tackle anything.
