Cuties




"Cuties", oil on canvas 5" x 7", September 9, 2012


Here I challenged myself to see all of the subtle color and value shifts in a shiny black plate.  I especially liked how the red-orange of the background mingled with the blue ambient light in my studio to create some unexpected notes of red-violet.  This one was a joy to paint!

  1. Very nice composition. I like how the planes of the plate form two rectangles in the painting. Such a nice contrast to the circles of the oranges and reflections. And the colors here are beautiful. I really like this!
