DANCING ON MY WINDOW SILL, 6X8, OIL, SOLD
You never know where the perfect still life will be discovered. I tossed these tomatoes on my window sill and several hours later the sun made a perfect still life out of them. Backlighting is a beautiful thing!
This is stunning! It's my new favorite painting of yours. You are right, the lighting is beautiful but I also LOVE the way you laid out your composition and the design of the green stems, especially the little curl on the right! This won't last long in your shop.
Oh Carol, these tomatoes are a winner! The light you captured is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou won't have problems with copying this time... I think you should do it bigger. Its just beautiful!
This is such a richly colorful painting...very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the back light is great. Nice and loosely painted, almost resembles a water color at first glance!
ReplyDeleteLovely, I love the colors and light. Catherine is right, it does resemble a watercolor.
ReplyDeleteLove the lighting and loose painting. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use the window light for your background, which creates nice back-lighting for your subjects.
