Artichoke #3 – 6" x 6" Oil on Canvas Panel - SOLD
After spending some time focusing on the outside of the artichoke, I decided to cut one in half and paint the interior. Because of the multiple layers, this painting could easily become an obsessive compulsive exercise to see how well I see and record verbatim. Instead I decided to keep it pretty loose and to push the colors some for interest. I like the effect, and I feel that this one goes very well with the other painting, Artichoke #2.

Elizabeth...I love the colors!!! The design is perfect for pushing the colors as you have done. I really like the two artichokes together...inside and outside.
Wow ... love your colours... everything... really cool
Thanks Theresa, I think the paintings are strong together as well.
Sylvia, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Hi Liz,
Love your artichoke paintings, the colors are wonderful!
Thanks Cheryl!
These artichokes are fabulous - beautifully envisioned and beautifully painted! (And they will taste so good when you get around to eating them!)
Wow. This is beautiful! such subtle changes really make the difference. I love it!
Thanks Laurel! They were a lot of fun working on, and helpful in making me focus on what is important, as artichokes have lots of pieces.
Thanks Kelley, I was working on a new canvas that was fun to work with. It had just enough tooth to hold the paint, but smooth enough to push the paint around as well.
