nectarines

I love this painting! I did it a couple weeks ago when I first found Carol Marine's work. I was looking through some links on another artist's page when I found her's. I was so excited to find her work. It is really bright like mine, and she likes to paint some of the things I do. I love the way she keeps her fruit blurry, you can really see the way she lays down blocks of color and it is amazing how they come together and make sense. I definitely did this painting in my own style but I worked with a bright background the way she does, and I really like the effect it gives. Another thing is that this painting is twice the size of my usual painting's a day, 12x12 instead of 6x6. I liked that as well, I will definitely be doing more like these soon.

Mojito Season 2!!!!

Mojito season is coming to an end. This was a commission I did earlier this summer to be hung along with the limes I painted.

peppers

These I'm not so sure about, I did these a few weeks ago and they were my first painting a day in awhile. I feel like I lost the looseness that I had gained from doing them all of the time and then tried to recover it after. It came out alright but it's not my favorite

butterscotch

This was a commission piece that I really enjoyed. I have fun painting candy and it always comes out bright and cheerful, just the way I like stuff!

lollipops

This was a painting that I almost didn't finish. I did not like the way it was coming out, but it made such a difference once I got the sticks down. It was hard to get them to pop on a white background, but I didn't feel like any other color would have worked as well. I am definitely happy I finished it.

mini shells

This was a tiny painting a day that I tried. I actually did it in the beginning of the summer and just got around to scanning it. It is roughly 2 X 6 inches. It was interesting to do it so small it made it impossible for me to get to involved in the details
