“Four nectarines.”
Week 52. The end of a fabulous year and hopefully the beginning of a greater one.
I found little time this week for painting, but I still wanted to complete my weekly painting. When you have a target, you have to do it no matter what.
My chosen genre for this final week of the year was still life and I quickly set up an arrangement with some fruits, four nectarines, on this occasion. Innitially they were three, but I thought the composition wasn’t strong enough, so they become four.
I painted alla prima over few hours, using some medium (De Mayerne) diluted with white spirit. Just as an experiment, as I haven’t used recently.
So, here it is:
My last painting of 2017.
“Four nectarines.”
Oil on linen.
24 X 30cm. (10” X 12”).
Happy New Year!!!
