“A pomegranate and two persimmons.”
I can’t believe, Christmas is almost here. It was last year, that I decided to start this “A painting a week” project.
And because of this project I started doing still life paintings, a lot of them, and I now enjoy this genre.
For this week, after a busy spell at work, I wanted to do something easy and somehow festive. And for me fruits are festive.
I did a set up with a giant pomegranate and couple of persimmons.
I painted alla prima using a reduced palette, as I recently started doing. A mixture of paints from Old Holland and Blue Ridge.
And Vincent didn’t want to become part of this painting; recently he started sleeping on my set up stand alongside the still life.
So, here it is:
“A pomegranate and two persimmons.”
Oil on linen.
24 X 30cm (10” X 12”).
