In Progress: Larger Still Life

Yesterday I started on a larger piece 12x12in.  It's been fun to set a few more objects up and work a little bigger.  Here's my progress so far starting with a photo of my still life.

Fat in Half

I realized today that avocados are really only good for one short sitting. I was glad I painted them in first before they got brown and weird looking!

Peeled Orange and Colored Glass

The beachy oceanic color schemes continue in my daily paintings as the snow continues to fall here in Utah.  Whew, it feels like it's been a long winter.  But, I'm still enjoying all the reflections in the colored glass with fruit.

Cup of Orange

I went for colored glass again this morning.  These colors remind me of sipping a yummy orange drink on the beach.  I'm really ready for a little beach time after all this snow we've had in Utah this year.

Blue Green Blood Orange

I found some more great stuff at the D.I. (Deseret Industries-like Goodwill).  It felt great to get back to color this morning after all my recent white subject matter studies.

Threw a little more color into my whites this morning.  The inversion has lifted a little this morning in Utah Valley.  Time for color and fresh air!

Sweetheart Rose

After a wonderful weekend away, I came back to this lovely!  Starting to wilt slightly, but still as beautiful as when I left.
