Fall Apples Oil Still Life Painting Garden Fruit Organic Traditional Art

Oil on Raymar panel, 6" x 8".

I didn't know the name of these little red and yellow-green apples I painted but I was attracted to their wonderful mingling of colors and their stems with drying leaves still attached. It was interesting to paint them in a subdued and traditional manner and their forms disappearing into the background.

Cherries and Light Oil Still Life Painting Organic Fruit Kitchen Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8"

I used only a few ingredients in making this painting - bright sunlight, a white bowl and a few cherries.  The shapes of the cherries' shadows became another visual ingredient to be enjoyed too.  The dark red cherries glow a brighter red in the light and colors bounce around in the mix with the bowl.  I like to bake tasty things, but painting the ingredients is more fun and rewarding.  And the result lasts longer.

Apple Line-up Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Apple Kitchen

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 16"

The apples seem to take on their own unique characters when posed this way and viewed from slightly below.  They can be looked at as actors on a stage or groups involved in conversations if I use my imagination.  I had initially planned to keep the work looser and casual, but paintings sometimes seem to take on their own energy and purpose as many artists have found.  I am satisfied with the apples' finished "characters" in this piece.  That's always a good feeling.

Grapes in Cut Glass Oil Painting Kitchen Art Still Life Food Fruit

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8`".

This painting was an attempt to catch the glow of a cluster of grapes lit brightly by the sun.  The cut-glass bowl was an added element that really helped the composition I think.  I loved the red and yellow shades of these purple grapes.

Sunlit Fruit Still Life Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Vase Kitchen Decor

I painted this still life from photos I took at a Barry Thomas workshop I attended earlier this year.  We did quick small studies of these brightly lit subjects which were spread out on a large table.  I may paint a larger version of this.  I love the glowing effect and intense color.
