Still Life and Landscape Paintings. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Pomegranates 8 x 8 Oil $150. This little painting is a study in red as you can see. It was all about color temperature and value to highlight the pomegranates and push the cloth back. I added some blue and green with the cream in the pattern of the cloth, to add some contrast and cooler colors. The blood of beetles, called cochineal. These little beetles thrive on the prickly pear cactus. During the Conquistador era, Spain discovere...Altho...

Claire Christinel Art: June 2014
http://clairechristinelart.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Still Life and Landscape Paintings. Monday, June 16, 2014. Radishes - Still Life. A Bunch of Hotties II Oil 8 x 8. This is a commission that I recently completed. My client loves vibrant saturated colours so I placed the radishes on a green striped cloth to make the colours pop. The cloth added that sunny summer feeling and she was very pleased with the feel and the vibrancy of her painting. Which was a relief, because commissions can be a bit stressful, even when they are small. :-). Links to this post.
