This is a still life painting in which I used a halo orange and a piece of my last geranium of the season. Right now the geranium is in the garage but I do not think it will last the winter. We had such a warm fall that I did not have the heart to throw it in the recycle bag when it looked so great. This is my way of preserving a piece of it. As for the halo oranges they have become my favorite fruit now (since I can not get fresh home grown strawberries in the winter). The halo oranges peal so easy and taste so good.

This painting has a variety of textures to communicate and became quite a challenge. I enjoy painting different shinning objects. Glass will reflect light different than metal for instance. Glass has reflective light in the jar and in the shadow it cast. Metal can vary too. I found the jar's lid was newer and shinier than the old metal funnel. The shine on new metal has more contrast verses old metal where it blends more. It is light that fascinates me the most plus variety. I hope my little painting has enough of both to keep viewers coming back and seeing more and more each time. Thanks for viewing my painting.

I painted this using a lot more palette knife than I usually do. My goal was to loosen up and try to create interesting brush strokes. Using the palette knife helped with this goal but also created slightly bigger flowers. The gold in this painting is very strong but the red apple is strong enough to create an interesting tension between the two.  Any way I am on the mend after that terrible cold last week and it feels great painting again!!
