Lemons and a Lime

New fruit. Happy with many things about this painting - the cloth, the lime and the lemon on the left.

Acrylic is becoming my friend.

I'm starting to get what Carol Marine was trying to say during the workshop I took with her last fall. The goal is to think about the colors and the paint BEFORE you put it on the canvas. I'm finally able to start doing that more and more.

Coincidentally - I heard from some of my workshop classmates this weekend and I've added their blogs to my blog roll. Check out Lisa Daria's Painting a Day and

Laurie G. Miller's Painting Patter.

We're all artists trying to paint the best we can.

I'm so happy with this painting - it is one of those "breakthrough" moments. I do see something I have to fix though - the lower right hand side of the bowl opening is off a bit :).
