I painted this one just because it made me happy. And I have to say, it looks way cuter in person. I love avocado green and this turquoise-y blue together, I almost want to keep it but I don't know where I would hang it.
The house is all decorated for Christmas now :) And according to Charlie the cat, me wrapping the garland around the stair rail is the best new game in the whole world...I think he plans on eating most of it before Christmas is over.
I painted these avocados on a very dark, almost black canvas. Like the landscape I experimented with a few days ago. It's kind of like painting in the complete opposite way that I'm used to, which makes it a good exercise .
Oil on stretched canvas, sides painted, 6x6 inches
Here's a larger version of the painting I did last week. The panel I painted this one made it turn out very shiny, I'm not sure why, but the same thing happened with yesterday's plein air painting.
