Apples Aren't Orange

[Enyaw]

Had a bunch of left over grays so decided to make something up so I could use them .. ideally rocks and maple trees at this time of year but I have not been out and about .. might try and get a few shots before the red's disappear.

Love these colors! Great shadow and light.

An interesting painting. I love your knife strokes: quite an effect. The composition is so unusual that I'm just not sure about it, but it has a certain appeal, rather surreal.

 

[Lazarus]

Beautiful. you are mastering the textures.

thank you Arty and Truff and Lazarus

.. compositions get boring when it's always the same .. I tend to think along the lines of catching the viewer's eye not matter how .. this one is bordering abstraction based on opposing triangluar shapes .. the 3 oranges form a triangle which is the reverse of the light triangle formed on the table top .. it's not obvious but your eyes lock on the pattern and you are inside a pattern . My thoughts anyway.

I like the play of light on the oranges and the texture formed by the knife. Interesting comments on the composition. I have never really mastered that aspect of painting, I just kind of go with my intuition and I like how this came out.

Im bad with composition. im abstraction follower.

The colours and textures are lovely and when you put that black mount (mat) around it the painting just seems to glow with and inner light … magic!

Lazarus, Comp is a lot of intuitive moves and sometimes they give you a plan

Thanks Maureen... I had a light but didn't know I had power

Thanks Joan

As i said. im never looks for composition bcz i never get it anyway. the abstraction and illusion is what i looking for.
