Plums and a Peach


Here I tried to keep things loose and painterly, and I also wanted to let the toned canvas influence the final color a bit. I'm happy with the results. Whatever that blueish film on a plum is it's fun to paint! I also enjoy painting peaches. The colors and patterns are challenging, but fun.

Thrift Store Bottles


I can't say I'm totally pleased with these bottles, but then again there are elements within it that I like. That's how it is I guess. There's stuff going on with the bottle on the right that I like and the rest gets a "meh." Fun challenge all the same.

Twinkies


To go with the cupcake from the previous painting I rendered a set of Twinkies. These were tough to get as they have an almost uniform golden color inside and out. I had to slather the paint on with an impasto technique on the filling as it just wasn't looking right otherwise.
