This painting was another painting I created in my workshop class at Gallery on First. I wanted all the workshop artists to have the same viewpoint as I did so I set up the still life in advance and photographed the subject. I actually took quite a few photographs, moving items around and adding and subtracting items. This is the composition I choose to paint in the workshop. I wanted to show three-dimensional space by the overlapping of objects. The vegetables were chosen so that different values and hues were placed next to each other. The colors of the background, the salt & pepper shakers and the bowl were similar in color to lead you through the painting. (The bowl was carved by
my brother in Vermont.) I like the way this painting turned out because of the lighting, the strong contrasts from the lighted areas and the dark background. Doesn't it look good enough to eat?
