Apart, then Together

The last of the sushi paintings for now. I think it's time to move on to something else. This painting seems to be more abstract, which is exactly what Kelley mentioned about an earlier post. She said that when painting the same subject over and over again, the image will get increasingly more abstracted. This sure happened with the sushi!

Come to the Party

One more for the sushi series. I was trying for a looser effect, by not going over the brush strokes . I think that this is something that I need to be more aware of. There's always something more to improve on! That's probably why painting is so much fun, it's a constant challenge!

Out in the Cold Again

This is the same sushi from last week, that was stored in the freezer. It thawed out under the light as I painted it. I then put it back in the freezer for a future possible painting. I was surprised, it held up really well. It was fun to paint with all the cad. red. One more painting for the exhibit, "Food, Glorious Food".

One For You and One For Me

The upcoming exhibit for the Lafayette Gallery is, "Food, Glorious Food". I've been thinking of my favorite foods and what would be fun to paint. I love eating and painting fruit, but I am ready to paint something different. What do I like to eat that is not fruit? Sushi has been one of my long time favorite foods . So here we are, two shrimp rolls from Trader Joe's, bought especially for painting purposes!
