Kiwano Melon in a Brown Dish

oil on panel
6"x7"
sold

I'm fond of this painting, and have been hanging on to it for a while, but now I've decided to list it for sale. This is a much better photo than the one I originally posted.

The brown of the ceramic dish holds the reflection of a Labor Day's blue sky.

  5. I love these small still life paintings you did from life. The blues singing in harmony with the brown plate's local color... You captured that cool high-lights of porcelain so vividly. The fruit is stated so simply yet completely captures viewer's attention. It's textures only suggested yet totally tactile. When I try to sample the color I realized that the yellow of the fruit is actually very muted, yet in surrounding colors it looks so bright and saturated -- had it really be saturated it would not possess the quietness in harmony with the rest of the painting. I learn so much every time studying your painting. Thanks for sharing.
