"Polka Dot Lemons"
5X7
Original oil painting on archival Raymar canvas panel
I've painted apples and pears on this polka dot fabric before. It's the lemons turn now. I don't know what it is about this fabric, but it cheers me up. I'm not a fan of polka dots by any means. I don't have one piece of clothing with polka dots, but I like this fabric. The other paintings were quite a bit easier than this one. Strange, I never know what I will encounter with each painting. The first time I thought I'd completed it, I put it aside for a while because the shadow to the right was bothering me. It looked 'dirty.' I decided to work on it some more when it was dry by glazing a bit more violet into the shadow and lightening up the bottom right corner. Now it is acceptable....
Today's Quotation: "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
