Artichokes


My "art affair" continues with vegetables with my latest piece, "Artichokes". This is the second time I have had artichokes as my subject. The first time I did a small piece of a closeup of an artichoke and really had fun with color. This piece was more focused on the shapes of a pile of artichokes. This is a cropping of one of the photos I took in the local Safeway market. I really liked the composition that the cropping created. I had fun with the shadows as the light source was from above. This is another big piece at 24" x 18". After this piece and the asparagus piece I find I need to replenish some of my green pastels......oh no.....I have to go shopping at the art store!
