"Summer Stock"

12 x 40 Oil on Linen, 2008
SOLD

Another in the Curtain Call series this one with summer items. I knew I would have to paint fast on this one but I was amazed at how fast the pineapple rotted. I wound up working for hours till very late in the evening, actually till early morning trying to get this done before the objects died. It is a difficult way to paint, somewhat like trying to paint a moving person or a fidgeting child. I get asked why not just take a photo? Well..... because it is just not as much fun.
