"Four Oranges"
Oil on panel, 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm)
Sold
This is the painting that's taken up the bulk of my time over the past few weeks, and is the first in a series of larger pieces I'm working on.
It really is the biggest painting I've done in over three years. Working small is great, and it lets me explore a number of compositions in a short amount of time. Working big, though, is a completely different experience. Compositionally, it's certainly more complex than anything I've done on a small scale, and the detail is also worked out to a much greater degree.
All good stuff, and I'll be doing more of it.
This painting has been accepted into the 2010 New England Representational Painting Exhibit held in August at the Guild of Boston Artists. It's a great space to show in, and I can't wait to see this up on the wall.

Congratulations on both a great painting and on the exhibiton acceptence. It's interesting to see you trying larger pieces, I think this on is very successful. Great composition and great lighting, you haven't been tempted to over-complicate the set-up due to the larger space. Looking forward to seeing more...
A amazing piece from a great Master !! C'est absolument magnifique Jeff !! BRAVO !!
Wow! This painting seems to have a light within. You have a winner here.
I so agree with you about the differences of painting the little 'uns and then struggling with something big. You've definitely won the battle!
This is beautiful!

Congratulations on getting this piece accepted, it is outstanding.
Beautiful.
I love the reflections in the vase and the refracted shape of the orange through the curved glass of the decanter.
Wonderful balance of values and color relationships.
