COLANDER AND TOMATOES

Here we go again with a colander and tomatoes – different colander, though.  Once I realized I’d thrown mine away but wanted it back (duh, what was I thinking?) I purchased another one – and then found yet another one in white.

This painting basically was used to reinforce the lessons learned in the previous painting of silver and tomatoes.  I did a few different set ups and let the students pick the ones they wanted to paint – some easier, some more difficult.  One of my students had brought in some beautiful blue fabric and gave it to me, so I used that as the backdrop.  Two students chose to do two paintings.  Of course, I didn’t get photos of them all (so what else is new!)

I THINK this is mine in progress – but my students are getting so good, it’s hard to tell!

  4. Katherine, I also like seeing WIPs - it's just fun to watch the whole process and sometimes get insight into other artists' processes.

  5. No rest for the weary, eh, Deb? :-)
    This is a subject I, like so many others, always love--the positive/negative of the colander holes ... and your painting of it is really stellar!
