Daily Painting #70 – Eggplant
(Click image for larger version)
Oil painting on gessoed matboard
Approximately 5.5 x 7.5 inches — 14 x 19 cm
My first time to paint an eggplant. I think this is one of my most favorite color combinations so far — violet and yellowish brown.

Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Faith Te and I am a painter from the Philippine Islands.
On June 20, 2009, I began creating small-sized daily paintings as a way to learn more about oil paints as well as to improve speed and skill. I started this blog to record and showcase these daily oil paintings.

This is lovely, Faith! My father use to plant this same type of eggplant every year in his garden. He always said that they tasted far better than any other variety. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art!

Hi, Leigh! Happy to know that you like this. I’m glad you are able to connect to the subject. I was afraid that this eggplant variety would not be familiar outside the Philippines. Thank you for following my work!
