This was HARD!!! It took longer and a lot of adjusting. Today I put the finishing glazes on. I used a linseed medium to apply them and opening windows is a must. I do not know what I hate more the odor of varnish or mediums. I tried to use walnut oil but it didn't quite work as smooth as the mediums. 

Glazes are made with lots of medium and a little oil paint so they are transparent. Glazes can be used to unify areas where there are lots of color changes in them like the cloth. I used a low key warm violet glazes on the shadows of the cloth. That way they still have color changes in them but they do not stand out as the highlighted areas do.  I also use glazes to push areas back. The background color has a white glaze over it. The glaze dulls and lightens the dark color making it recede.  So now I am going to take a long walk and breath in some fresh air. Thanks for viewing my painting: Veggies. 

Original Oil Painting Autumn Pansies

Painted on gessobord.

This is a composite painting I made using a variety of still life photos. My favorite part is the garlic. It has the same shape as a pansy petal plus tints of the pansy's colors in it. 

Thanks for taking a look at my painting. If you want; leave a comment and tell me what is your favorite part.

I know the little green apple is bright but I like how it stands up to the large pot. The Indian corn was a blast to paint.

This is an oil painting I made using one of my still life set-ups. I love all the skinny thin radish tails swarming around. They do not bother the onion at all. Thanks for viewing!
