One of my absolute favorite fruits (and things to paint)! Back in season, juicy and delicious!

Juicy Grapefruit

Trying to paint some of my favorite things, large scale, starting with this juicy grapefruit.

Grapefruit in Bowl

The very same grapefruit in the bowl, but cropped in. Some of my favorite color combinations here. Juicy enough to eat!

Grapefruit & Spoon

The photo searching was coming up short, so I went into my kitchen for some inspiration. When I cut into this grapefruit and saw the deep red interior, I knew this was it. Grabbed a few dishes and set up a still life that appealed to me. :)

Grapefruit Slice

The sun was shining and I had tons of citrus in the house, so thought I'd give this a try. Grapefruits are one of my favorite fruits, so was the star of this painting. Looks good enough to eat!

Grapefruit (2)

One thing for sure is that as an artist I am constantly trying to learn and do new things with my painting. Aren't most artists constantly striving to be better?? It can be frustrating to not be better now and it's time consuming to get better! Each piece takes us there, little by little... It's a lesson in patience, but the learning is what keeps it interesting and keeps me coming back to the easel each day.

With this painting it was me using the brush and striving for looseness--that was it. This is the second time I have painted this grapefruit; the first time was with the palette knife and also smaller. Either of these (or larger!) would be amazing hanging in a kitchen. LOVE these colors!

Grapefruit

It's cold here in Wisconsin--snow and below zero temperatures already in mid-November. I thought I'd do a little fruit series, but have only felt passionately about painting the pomegranate and this grapefruit so far. I wait anxiously all year for these two fruits to be at their peek. They help make this cold time of year so much more enjoyable!
