This is the latest challenge for Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Folks blog. The subject this time is this colorful plate of summer vegetables. I tried to emphasize the light/shadow and keep a painterly approach. For purchase information, please see my website.
I love the colors you used for the shadows! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you cropped it but my favorite part is the purple shadows. It really unifies everything and makes the painting sing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous color Carol. Wonderful contrasts and values.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol!
ReplyDeleteI like it very much, and I have to concur with the previous posts about how great the purple shadows look (and the whole colors chosen). It gives vitality to the painting.
I love the contrast of warm and cool colors. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree the other comments...I love the purple shadows and the intense red tomatoes really makes your painting pleasing to the eye!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, rich color, and gorgeous shadows. I like this one a lot!
ReplyDeleteNice rich color Carol ...great composition in the cropping.
ReplyDeleteI love your version of this photograph. Your composition is nice. I especially like the onions. Well done!

ReplyDeleteWonderful job, Carol - great colors.
ReplyDeleteAs everybody here, I was attracted by your colors, and overall the purple which is striking.
ReplyDeleteA stand out. The colors are fabulously rich.
ReplyDeletebeautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, such a nice job on this challenge. I think some of the best paintings have come out of this challenge. Who knew? vegetables, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors also, Carol. Nice cropping too!
ReplyDeleteVery colorful, very painterly, Carol...beautiful! I have corn envy!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all been said - but the painting is wonderful, I especially love the shadows.
ReplyDeleteThank you ALL. I am so happy to be a part of the Different Strokes family of painters. Karin has done us all a tremendous favor to host this forum.
ReplyDeleteThe shadows are my favorite! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteYour crop is outstanding. I struggled with that for a few days and decided to go with the whole plate and add something instead. The brushwork (very painterly) and the colors (purple) are fantastic.
ReplyDeletei love your DSFDF. It has such vitality also. Well done
ReplyDeleteCarol;
ReplyDeleteHOW in the world do you do an oil painting in one sitting?! I always have to wait for the layers to dry... and I'm impatient! :/ I LOVE this painting- I'm a chef as well as an artist- and it hits me both places! Great work!
This turned out great, Carol!
ReplyDeleteNice bright colors and I like the cropped image too.
