Almost there



In progress: untitled still life
oil on panel
8 x 8 inches (20 x 20 cm)


A few more hours' work and this will be finished. Since I probably won't photograph it again until it's dried and varnished, I thought I'd put this final in-progress shot up.

Working on this painting in particular, I found myself mindful of how colors become grays as the objects turn away from the light. This is a very well-known phenomenon, but still beautiful to observe, and gratifying to capture.

the greens and blues among all this black is really good .

"Colors become grays" Hmm, please forgive, but sometimes colors of a different hue bounce up off or from another angle. Put something on a red cloth, and see what the shadows do!

Oh, dear!

Love your work!

Truly superb, the mariage of colors on the lemon and the vase radiates how colors can bounce off objects on shiny surfaces!
