Description
This is the second of the two still life paintings I did this weekend. Since it was still raining, I couldn't go outside. Again, I set up a still life by the window. The light was not bright since it was raining. At first, I only used one avocado and a couple onions. I painted them against a really dark blue background. I wanted it to be dramatic but it looked awful. It was harsh. The composition wasn't good, either. The background needed some height. I couldn't find anything suitable, so I placed another avocado in the background. After painting that in, I decided that it needed more interest in the foreground. I couldn't find much of anything that was small enough not to obscure the background. Got an egg from the refrigerator. It was a fun exercise to paint but I am not sure that it really worked. I added the onion skins for a little more interest. Hmmmm...not exciting. I warmed the background and foreground. By now, I was fighting with my new slow-drying acrylics. Everything became difficult. Sooooo, I stopped fussing with it. I enjoyed the exercise of painting something a bit out of my usual style.
