I absolutely love seafood paintings! I hope to do more of them but I’ll work from photos next time instead of from life like I did for the fish painting above.

Private Collection

Some of you may remember this bowl of rice painting I did many, many months ago. I wasn’t pleased with how it turned out so I gave it a makeover and here’s what it looks now. Hope you like it better. I used the Mars Red again to intensify the reds and deepen the background a little.

Oil painting on hardboard
Approximately 8 x 6 inches — 20 x 15 cm
SOLD

After a long (unintended) break, here is a new post to start the New Year right. I just recently bought a tube of Mars Red and I’m having a lot of fun with it. The background in the rice painting above was painted with it. Alone or with a bit of blue, it’s a gorgeous deep red color which is very opaque. So nice to paint with!

I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season. Happy New Year, my friends!

Daily Painting #336 – Grapes in Small Bowl
(Click image for larger version)

Oil painting on hardboard
Approximately 6 x 6 inches — 15 x 15 cm
SOLD

I can remember when I was just starting out as a daily painter that I hated to do grapes. I thought then that they were just too difficult to paint correctly. Anyway, they are now a favorite subject of mine. I find it really gratifying to see the little berries come to life as I paint the bloom!

One of my most favorite painting of grapes that I have done is the one above. This will be the last grapes painting included in the 365 Daily Paintings so I thought I’d compile all that I have done since the beginning…well, let’s start with the second that I did since the first one was what made me hate painting grapes in the first place!

Plus two little ACEO paintings:

I’ve been wanting to do this composition for quite some time now, but I kept putting it off because I was intimidated by the glass dish. Well, these baby tangerines wouldn’t keep any longer so I had no choice but to do it. Surprisingly, this painting was fun and I didn’t come across any difficulties at all.

Oil painting on gessoed matboard

Not for Sale

I’ve come to accept that finishing one painting each and every day would mean that some of these will not always turn out the way I hoped for.

One of those which did not turn out very well was this bowl of rice. I had a very difficult time painting the rice realistically, in addition to the bowl.

But with every painting, be it a failure or a success, there are always lessons to be learned. What I learned as a result of this painting was that I really should take the extra time to analyze the subject carefully…and that those colorful little dots on the chopsticks were so much fun to paint!
