Original Oil Painting Toppled Apples
Toppled Apples
Sold
12" x 12"
Painted on gessobord.
This week I got out my Indian corn and apples to create this autumn painting. Every subject in this painting has multiple colors which was an eye and mind super challenge to say the least. (I think my eyes were ready to pop out of my head at times.) When you are dealing with so many colors it is extremely important to stay calm, take many breaks, slow down and do a lot of pre-mixing of colors. I think tomorrow I will take a break and hopefully get outside and enjoy the wonderful fall colors.
After posting this painting on Facebook and seeing it everyday, I decided to make some subtle changes. The not so subtle change was the table top. It was way too bright, light, grey violet. I felt it was competing with the apples. I am much happier with a tone down table. I posted the first version below. See if you agree with me. Did I make the right changes?

The leaves this year in Wisconsin are gorgeous! So my dog Tuck and I went on a walk gathering all the lovely leaves. I took about 60-70 pics of leaves, apples and Indian corn. I painted this from one of my favorite photos of the day. Can you tell that I photograph them in direct sunlight?

Original Oil Painting Autumn Pansies

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.
