Peeled

12 x 9 inches - oil on Gatorfoam panel
SOLD

When you click the image you will see that I left the photo bigger than life size for a change so those of you who revel in getting up close and personal can see it warts and all ;-)
This one has gone to the Elliot Foutts Gallery in Sacramento. They are a big supporter of my work and they are great people too :-)
I like painting on these panels as they are very smooth and unbelievably light, they are also very cheap. I give them three coats of white gesso (sanded with very fine sandpaper between each coat) and then a final coat of Winsor & Newton Galleria gloss acrylic medium to make them less absorbent.
I get the 3/16 inch thick panels.
You can get them here (mentioning my name wouldn't hurt me ;-): windriverarts.com

    C'est d'une précision hors du commun et d'un grand réalisme. C'est superbe ! Encore et toujours bravo !

    Beautiful! It was fun to see it up close...no warts there, btw. The lemon even looks juicy! Great work as always.

    I'm still working on my French;-)

    the movement from light to shadow, the knife handle hanging over the edge and out of the painting... a work of art and recognised...

    Thanks for the big version, it's great...What warts? It's perfect.
    I know what you mean about backgrounds, too, (from your latest post)
    They're my nememsis. I've had a beautiful painting ruined by one too many awful backgrounds...
