Tomatoes on a Vine 150 SOLD

This one almost slipped through the cracks. I did it on Saturday at the Fair about 2 weeks ago and promptly forgot to take a pictures of it. I enjoy working in natural sunlight, it really enhances the form of the object and makes for a much easier painting and color mixing session. It was also helpful to have people see what I do and how I do it until the crazies come out and want to show you their binder full of work they copied from magazines, but that's another story.

Three Tomatoes on a Vine 078

This latest piece turned out better than I had hope, once again, at the canvas I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. My drawing looked awful, my colors seemed off, everything was wrong. Once again I had to will myself to finish which is sometimes what it takes. It is so easy to knock yourself down so early in the process when all that matters is what it looks like when the "process" is over. This piece and it's colors are once again based on a smaller daily painting I did earlier in the year.
