Composition Thoughts Part II



"With Lime", oil on canvas, 36" x 36"

I couldn't let all of those gorgeous limes go to waste, so my studio is currently being taken over by paintings of limes. I am very attracted to them for many reasons, but in order to keep my viewers engaged I feel an obligation to offer a different composition each time.

Above is a lime painting with a composition (dare I say it?) I am rather proud to show. Attempting to stay away from my tried and true, singular cropped views (still following? My apologies for the doozy of run-on adjectives), I opted for a way to show more space on the canvas, but also to allow the canvas to not seem as copious as most 3 feet by 3 feet canvases do. My original sketch (let's not be fooled here, there were no sketches on notebooks, just on the actual canvas) held three lime wedges, but due to space issues and my goal to allow for more of it, I went with just two. The end result, obviously, is above.

Add some lime: $500.00 (+tax and shipping) SOLD
