JUST A BUNCH OF CARROTS, 4X12, OIL, SOLD

I just received this back from a gallery, and I must say, I am happy to have it back.  It is one of my personal favorites and I feel like I have welcomed an old friend home.  I am listing it on Etsy, but if it doesn't sell quickly, it will have a home forever in my kitchen.  If you are interested in viewing it at it's best, click on the image to zoom in.

I agree w/ you. This is a really good piece! Love the shadow and values in the background.

I can't blame you for wanting to keep this one. I always feel guilty for keeping a painting that I had planned to sell, but some are just meant to stick with us!

Yes, I agree this is a lovely one and different, you don't see carrots painted very often. It has something special about it!

Kathy Cousart said...

I love this one too! Fantastic colors all over the place- carrots and greenery are wonderful. Then you have awesome shadows and other colors scumbled for background. Keep that puppy yourself and enjoy!Ha:)

I agree....it's a keeper!

I love the format you used - it's perfect for the carrots and their green stems. Beautifully done!

This painting is wonderful. It is hard to see some paintings go. I bet you won't get to enjoy it for long.

Love this, especially the blue shadow and the format.

I love this! I bought a bunch of carrots to paint but ended up eating them in stew before I got around to painting them! These look really great and I don't blame you for wanting them on your own wall!

Beautiful Carol! I'm partial to your veggy paintings!

Kim Blair said...

I too would want to keep this painting, the format is perfect for the subject matter and adds to its charm! Love the orange tones.
