"Cantaloupe in Blue"
6x6 Oil on museum quality panel
$95 SOLD!
Confession time, I have an obsession with produce. I don't mean love to eat it, can't wait to cook with it. I use to think my family just didn't like to go to the grocery store with me. I now realize it probably had something to do with how I linger in the produce section...picking up different fruits and vegetables, laying next to each other. I see other people just pick up the produce, place it in their baskets and off they go. I just think they don't get it. Hate to image what they're thinking about my way of choosing produce. It has come to my attention that I might have a problem because when I arrive home, unload the groceries and more than half my bill is produce & the produce is not for eating. Yikes!! Has anyone started Still Life Painters Anonymous yet?

As I have newly discovered the joy of doing still lifes...I can't help you with this "issue"...as a matter of fact...it isn't an issue. When you you refuse to cook your family's dinner because you haven't painted the veggies yet...well that might be considered a problem, and an intervention may be needed. Awesome cantaloupe! love the glow of it and the rind...so perfect!
Gorgeous light in this piece Kelley!
I may have to join that group...when I was at the farmer's market last week, the paintable produce was beautiful, I wanted to buy it all!
Je comprends votre frustration s'il fallait cuisiner les fruits et les légumes avant que la peinture soit achevée !
Cette tranche de melon me donne cependant envie d'y mordre dedans !
J'aime la lumière qui l'illumine...
Bisous
a little boat of color... great light on this!
Really beautiful light, Kelley! And great job on nailing those colors. I find the color of cantaloupe skins to be very hard to define but you did an excellent job! Love the way the peachy orange looks next to that blue.
I share your love of produce...this painting caught my eye right away...the light is perfect and I enjoy the bit of pink at the tip of the slice.
