... and now for something completely different ... a painting

Clementines
12 x 9 inches - oil on Belgian linen panel
SOLD

It's been a while since the last painting but I will be posting quite a few over the next week or so because they have all come together around the same time. Due to the fact that I work in quite a few layers, I am always letting one dry while I work on the next and I end up with 4 - 6 paintings on the go.
I must say that this is one of my favourites because the composition, lighting and colouring just seem to work so well ....... and it was a joy to paint.
I think it has a classical feel to it but I'll let you be the judge of that ..... I just push the paint around ;-)

    I think it has a very classical feel Paul. I'm quite taken with the realism especially in the leaves. Wish I had the time to work on as many. I love painting on Linen...you just can't beat it!

    beautiful and sensitive in the same breath. i also like the diffused day light; and the leaves are like a sculpture in themselves. r.

    Somehow you are managing to make every new painting better than previous one. Please, take a break until the rest of us catch up with you.

    Hi Paul,
    I think it's great, I too love the colors together, and the joy you felt painting it, shows through :)
    Best regards,
