Plums in a glass - Mark H Brown

It was good to paint again after two busy weeks of showing and shipping out orders!  I continued in my new series of lighter background paintings, trying to create a soft contemporary look to the still life.  I liked the strong diagonal composition of the plums in juxtaposition to the vertical thrust of the glass.  The blue haze is always an enjoyable element to paint on plums.

Mark, you captured that blue waxing look of the plums beautifully. They look luscious!

Hi Mary,

Looks like you all did a great job with the show. I will not be able to make the reception as I will be in Alexandria VA for a show this weekend. Hope it goes well,

You can feel the ripeness coming off your canvas.
