As I waited for the Leduc Antique Mall painting to dry so I could add more layers, I am working on these pomegranates. I have never painted pomegranates before and I found out something that I didn't know - these lovely, oversized fruit with their delicious jewels inside turn brown - fast! So, I painted as much as I could as fast as I could - a lot of the rest will have to be finished from memory except for the one that's not cut.
Because the paint is so wet, there is a lot of sheen and, as I've said before, wet paintings don't photograph well. But, I think that watching other artists' paintings in progress is incredibly interesting, so I hope you do, too.
There's still a fair bit to do on the 'poms', but I'll post them again when they're done.
In the meantime, the Leduc painting will be dry enough for another layer tomorrow. So, with luck and grace, perhaps I'll finish it by then end of the day tomorrow so I can post it.
When I'm done, I'll be starting another painting in the Leduc series.
I need to finish another five in the Leduc series before releasing a set of 12 separate art cards of Leduc and area (six country and six city paintings). I hope to have the cards printed and available in the New Year.
