lemon, avocado, creamer 11x14

This is a pretty large painting for me at 11x14. It took a few days to complete.

avocado with pit 7x5

Well, 1000 days, 1000 paintings. I'd really like to thank everyone who's been looking at this blog. Knowing that I actually have a small audience has been a big help in keeping me going. I'd also like to thank my wife for being incredibly supportive. I could not have done it without her. The last thousand days have had their ups and downs, painting-wise, but I think I've met my overall goal of becoming a better painter. I have developed a bit of creative momentum and I actually have more painting ideas than I've ever had before so I'm pretty excited about continuing. I'm probably going to do some larger paintings in the near future that require more than one day to complete so I may not be posting every day and I might even take a break every now and then but when I do paint, I will continue to post the results here.

Thanks again!

whole avocado 7x5

Avocados are more colorful when you cut them open but the subtle beaty of their outsides shouldn't be overlooked.

avocado and water 7x5

I think one of the tricks to painting avocados is to use one that is a little under ripe. They seem to stay nice and green longer.

avocado #6 7x5.5

I painted this one for a friend of mine. It's pretty similar to a recent avocado that I did on a dark background. I like this one because of the variation in the cast shadow.

avocado #5 7x5.5

I like how a halved avocado manifests both negative and positive space. This one will go into my son's sandwich tomorrow morning. I managed to finish painting it before it turned brown.
