Challenge 33: Paint & Draw Together


This is a painting I did to participate in the Paint & Draw Together painting challenge. You can read about the original work, which this is based on, here:

and then click on the blog's header to view all the participants works. It is very interesting to see the variety of work and interpretations.

Mine is 9"x12", oil on gessoed masonite. Let me know what you think!

Three Tangerines


Three Tangerines in White Bowl, 5"x7", oil. Going from one item to three plus a bowl was perhaps too big a leap! The bowl was most difficult, and it is not quite "there."

Pear painting


A 5" x 7" painting I did in oil. I had planned on toning down that vibrant green, as it doesn't really match my "model" pear. But I kind of like it now. What do you think?

I used a limited palette (ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow, raw umber and titanium white.) Take a look a let me know what you think. I worked on it quickly, as I had found the challenge only two days before the deadline!
