Big brush, harsh light, simple forms in this one, the object was to find a way to knit the forms together into a painting. I like the word knit for this process, Catherine Kehoe used it in a lecture she gave recently at Mass Art. I wish I had been there to hear it! It is posted on her website catherinekehoe.com.
I've been away way too long and I see I've missed your beautiful paintings. A cut up grapefruit is a familiar sight in my house and you've nailed that gorgeous red/orange/pink flesh. There's so much I want to comment on here, but I'm trying to be brief. This is a very successful composition, love the variety in the different sized grapefruit shapes, then the horizontal lines breaking the curved shapes; wow, very well done, Jean!
ReplyDeleteMagnifique peinture... pleine de vitamines pour commencer la journée!... Très belle composition et joli drapé.

Hello Jean,
ReplyDeleteI love your grapefruit painting, and thank you for mentioning artist Catherine Kehoe, I haven't seen her work before and loved looking at her paintings, and listening to her lecture.
Excellent! I could see it was a grapefruit even from the tiny thunbnail
