Lemon On A Ledge - oil 6 x 6


Oil 6" x 6" unframed
$100 + $10 shipping



When I first started this daily painting project I had not painted still life in about 15 years- landscape has totally occupied my painting life- so the prospect was a little daunting. But starting to look at the objects around me as subjects for paintings got real interesting real fast. This was my first attempt and I guess its natural that I would include a precipice - a landscape element- or maybe that's just how I was feeling that day! Anyway, its been fun to shift to different subject matter, and then there's that whole cool light-warm shadows thing that is the exact opposite of what happens in the landscape most of the time.

I like the little bit of your work on the bolg you have a way with warm colors that not to warm. Kind of like warm warms next to cool warms... if that makes any sense...

I replied to your letter, but it bounced.
