Apricots & Blue Bowls Still Life


Apricots with Blue Fiesta Bowls – 6" x 8" Oil on Canvas Panel SOLD

Fuzzy fruit are a joy to paint; they do not have the obvious highlights like smooth skin fruit. So in pairing the fruit with fiesta bowls that have lots of shine and highlights was a fun exercise in differences.

Oh, I just LOVE your colors. The orange and the blue. And the yellow lemon with the purple. You can tell you have a design background! One of my best friends is an architect who paints on the 'side' (she's so good at both!!!)! Good for you!

Thanks Kelley. I have found that my architectural background does inform some of my painting and composition decisions.
