Presents!

Lots of family and friends requested paintings as gifts this year.   I guess that saves me money, but it's hard to know what to paint for them.  Hopefully I did an ok job :)  And now that Christmas is over I can post them here!

Avocado Scrub - Still life oil painting - 6x6

I painted these avocados on a very dark, almost black canvas.  Like the landscape I experimented with a few days ago.  It's kind of like painting in the complete opposite way that I'm used to, which makes it a good exercise .
