Too Close for Comfort

This is the last in the kiwi fruit series. In my previous post, Kelley left a comment saying that, in a series, the image can get progressively more abstract. I had never heard of that idea before, which I thought was fascinating. This is certainly true in this series, even though I wasn't trying, the image of the fruit did become more abstract.

All Together Now

Still having fun with the kiwis. This one seems like it's a little more abstract and geometric than the previous ones. It's also fun to paint this way. I'm hoping to get one more painting from the kiwi fruit. They are getting a little withered from the light, so we'll see. Stay tuned for more tomorrow.

One and a Half, Once Again

Here is one more kiwi painting. This was done at night, which to me is a little harder than painting with daylight. Kiwi, since they are covered with fuzz, don't really have any sharp highlights. They do sort of glow. I tried to show that in the painting of the whole fruit. I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome, but am so excited to get back to painting, that I don't really care. Having the time away, just makes me want to paint more!
