Pear in a silver bowl - Oil painting



So there was this left over blue, black & grey paint and I thought I'll do one more of the same stainless steel bowl but with the pears instead. So much for keeping it simple and focusing on painting metal... That colorful placemat was a wrong idea - took me twice as much time as the apple painting as I had to paint more details on the mat . But I am happy with the result. Done on a 8X10 canvas with oil.

Sorry about the photo quality, most of you know I paint at night. Just wanted to click the setup before the pears became someones breakfast in morning :-).

Apple in a silver bowl - Oil painting



I am working on a bigger still life painting that involves a stainless steel bowl. Painting metal is way different from painting landscapes - a sheer frustration. So I decided to do couple of quick studies to get me over the hump. Grabbed some apples & a stainless steel bowl at home and started painting this. Done on a smaller than usual canvas(8X10) with oil. Took me about an hour & half to complete.
