Apple Still Life

Apple Still Life
Acrylic, 11" x 14"
 
Another acrylic with an under-painting.  You can see the texture in the background and glass jar.
I don't know why I love to paint apples and pears.  I just do.

Orange Red Rose

Orange Red Rose
Acrylic on Paper, 7" x 7"
Complimentary colors can really make a painting dramatic!  I love the way this one came together. I used watercolor paper, put a varnish medium on it, applied an under-painting, then started to draw the rose leaving some of the under-painting showing. That's why there is so much texture.

All Boxed In

 
All Boxed In
24" x 24", Oil
Another large painting.  I enjoy setting up compositions and then painting it from a bird's eye view.  especially like the light and shadows on this one.  What do you think?
