Orange with Harmonica
Thursday, August 26th, 2010Daily Painting #342 – Orange with Harmonica
(Click image for larger version)
Oil painting on hardboard
Approximately 6 x 6 inches — 15 x 15 cm
We’ve had this Hohner harmonica for decades although I still haven’t learned to play it. I’ve always wanted to paint it because of its antique look, but I could never find the perfect composition for it. For sure I’ll be doing another painting which will feature it better.
By the way, I keep forgetting to mention that artist Monica Burnette recently talked about edges in paintings on her blog and she featured my “Grapes in Small Bowl” in one of her posts. Check it out here! Thank you, Monica!

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:

This is actually a Fuji apple without most of the pink and red streaks. When I saw that it was almost all yellow, I just had to paint it.

This was the first red papaya I’ve tried, and it was the best I have ever tasted — sweet and very refreshing. Given a chance, I may have been tempted to eat this particular papaya all by myself (it was about a foot long)!

Something not related to the daily paintings. Earlier this month, my brother David and I each entered 3 of our artwork to the A Singular Creation Portraits 2 Contest. I am thrilled that the oil portrait I did for Different Strokes from Different Folks was chosen as one of the 12 finalists. There were about 271 entries and there were many great paintings and drawings, so I am really honored that the judges chose my painting and one of David’s pencil portraits (both shown below).
Public voting is now open. If you wish to vote, the link is: A Singular Creation Portraits 2 Finalists

I had a very difficult time trying to get this image to match the original colors. Some colors are still slightly inaccurate, but I hope you like the painting anyway. I had a lot of fun trying to make the orange look translucent.

Here’s something not related to the daily paintings. Yesterday, I wrote a short post on my other blog, Art Studio, about a commissioned artwork I completed middle of last year.
It’s a pencil drawing of a pair of eyes. If you are curious why the left eye is a black eye, read my post here: All the Abused.

This is my first time to paint strawberries. They are quite expensive and not very common in our area. These little strawberries were perfect models and they smelled so sweet!
By the way, red seems to be this week’s theme. Hope you enjoy the new paintings and thank you all so much for your comments! They are all greatly appreciated!

This painting is on gessoed 1/8″ hardboard. It’s my first time to try this support, but I will be using it for most of the future daily paintings.
By the way, here is the bird painting that I was talking about a few days ago. It is an illustrative type of painting which I like very much. I hope you do too.
And here is the direct link to the post on my Art Studio blog: Robin Painting.

The leftover green paint that I mixed for the bluebird painting was used for the background here (mixed with a little bit more blue and red to darken). I don’t know why, but there is something about this shade of green that I really like. It looks so much more contemporary than the earthy colors I usually use, but I love it. I hope you like it too!

I absolutely love this one! There’s something about this color scheme that I find very pleasing. I liked it so much that I decided to make the next painting a companion to this.

The leftover gray and violet mixtures I had from the previous painting were mixed together and used for the background here. I really like the dull violet color it produced.
I was very happy to find this little tangerine from the grocery. I love it when the leaves are still attached. I think they add a lot of character.
