Original Oil Painting High Key Fruit Bowl

High Key Fruit Bowl

12" x 12"

Painted on gessobord.

This painting is very different than what I usually paint. It is call high-key painting. High-key painting uses a lot of tints and mediums. It is like all the dark and middle values are lightened. It gives the painting a light, airy quality. I painted on a slightly rougher surface, to enhance the sparkle. This is very different from my more dramatic paintings. It is just another way of expression. I hope you enjoy viewing my lighter way of painting. 

Original Oil Painting Touch Fruitball

I finished my fruit painting today. When I finish a painting I am looking at color values, edges, shadows and blending. I call it Touch Fruitball because it reminds me of touch football. The football in this case is the orange and the pear and banana want it.
