#307 What a Pair

This was my second attempt at painting avocados over the weekend. I've been wanting to paint avocados on yellow for a while and I'm glad I found a composition that worked. I added the white because all the yellow seemed like too much for me. I like how the hole on the left worked out and I like the pop of blue shadow, too. I did work fast because the avocados were browning quickly!

#215 Avocado and Tomatoes

SOLD (6x6 inches)

After several days of not painting it was so nice to paint something and like how it turned out. When I feel stuck or frustrated with what I've been painting, I'll often try painting a fruit or vegetable. Not because they are easy for me, but they are easier! I tried painting more thinly by adding some mineral spirits to my paint, but just a little. Then I tried going back in some places with thicker paint mixed with medium for the details. I kept the edges softer than in the past.
