Bowl of Lemons with Rose Background – 6" x 8" Oil on Canvas Panel SOLD
This painting was first completed on Sunday afternoon however today I reworked it some as I felt the painting was too dark with its original blue background and green tablecloth. By experimenting with a layer of Zinc Buff for the tablecloth color and then applying another zinc white based color, Brilliant Yellow-Reddish over the blue background. The result is this finished painting, which is brighter and in my opinion a more cheerful composition.

I enjoy your work. I like how little touches of the blue still show in under the pink background color.
Thanks. Having the blue still show some was the goal, that is why I used a Zinc-white based color because of its transparency.
I like it a lot. The principle is color vibration and it works great here!
Hi Mary, yes I think making color vibrate in at least one spot in a painting is important to be a visual success.
