Nothing is more refreshing than a slice of cold watermelon in the middle of summer; I love painting fruit, but watermelon is one of my favorites. I spent a lot of time arranging and rearranging this still life trying to create variety in the color, value, and texture. I love when a painting has mostly light, or middle value tones with one dark object like the brown, glass bottle in this one. I was glad to paint my favorite salt shaker too, but the question is - to salt, or not to salt?
This is beautiful! I really like your style. It's refreshing and lively, and yet soothing to the eye. The composition in this piece is wonderful, and the colors are placed so nicely. Congratulations!
