One of the things I love most about painting still life is the bright colors of fruit. It is a challenge to mix my paints so that the values work to develop a three-dimensional feel on a two-dimentional surface. I was pleased that when I pulled it off with a limited palette. Developing just the right mixes with Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, and Titanium White worked well in this little 5x7 inch painting. It is for sale at Small Impressions Gallery and can be purchased for $35.00 plus $6.50 for shipping to US addresses. Technorati tags:

Nancy: This is very well done. You have really captured the low slanting light with long shadows. The limited palette seems just so right.
Thanks much; glad it turned out well!
Ohh, love those reds.
Thanks Kerri--appreciate your feedback!
