green cup and cherries

This dark cup and saucer was a challenge. I want to try a black one and this was working me way toward darker colors.

Red Corgi

My first animal in oil. This is corgi we used to have and still miss, Duncan. I am pleased with it.

cup of cherries

Cherry season is still on and I am enjoying them to the utmost. For every cherry painting, I eat a bowl full. These got painted because they were not quite ripe and still red. They will be gone tomorrow.

sweet and sour

This merry-go-round of fruit composition weaves around in a circle. I think a circular composition is tricky, so I had one piece going off the canvas, and one piece of lime sitting a little apart from the others.

Three apples on orange

I love the colors of this one.

tea time lemon

I like this one because of the brush stoke inside the cup. It looks like light. I also like the luminosity of the lemon. The white of the cup and saucer may be to dark. humm

I am interested to see what the background color does to the subject. This orange is new element for me. I am thinking about using every different color I can find.
