Two Avocado Paintings 057 & 058



I finished these pieces too late last night to get any good light on them. I am trying to turn out some fruit for the Cotton Pickin' Festival next weekend. With the amount of oils I use, they take at least a week under a heat lamp to dry. My style has started to change a bit and I am enjoying where it is going. I am at the phase where I can't wait to get home to paint. I love that place. It only comes around so often.

  1. amazing, even with a palette knife you captured the essence of an avacado. softness and jagged edges, love it.
