Shades of Italy

I have great admiration for artists who paint abstracts.

While finding my around the process of painting oils, I began to push the paint into shapes and textures hoping to create some sense of balance.

When finished the painting had a familiarity about it but it took a couple of months before I realized that it reminded me of the colours and textures of Italy.

Lemons 2

This is a simplistic composition with lemons. When painting fruit it's easy to get lost in the abstraction of shapes and colour which can be very satisfying.
