These "daily paintings" are about painting from life rather than photos as I so often do in my studio. Colours are clearer and shadows more honest when painting from life. So instead of setting up a few pieces of fruit on a table in my studio I just headed outside to this tree full of beautiful, not quite ripe fruit! Outside is different again from the controlled light in the studio. The sun and shadow pattern kept changing as I painted! Little lessons from nature!
While I am here I am also working on some larger pieces for my show in Whitehorse at the end of February so I think I will post them here as I get them finished.
Thanks for looking,
Val
