Oil on canvas, 24" x 30" SOLD to a collector in Laugharne, Wales

My self-appointed challenge here was to balance a group of cool colored blue and turquoise vases against a strong hit of orange in the fruits. Separating and connecting these areas was the cloth which is also a warm color and different texture from the reflective vases. Although I never really altered the composition while painting, I did experiment a lot with the background colors until I came up with these. Big paintings are great because they're very demanding and I feel I can really 'get into them'...kind of like climbing into them. Oil paint is a lusciously physical thing...and working big means more connection with it, more manipulation and play.

It's really good. I like the shapes throughout and the colors flow. Did you do it all in one day?
Hi Mary, Thanks for your comment about the shapes and colors. I wish my brush and brain moved fast enough to have created this in a day. No such luck. But I did paint daily on this one for several weeks.
This is very beautiful.
