Close ups
Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.Sushi sitting in a pool of soy sauce. This is yet another offering to Karin Jurick's DSFDF. Never ate it...never painted it...heck, I never even saw it in person! I know. I need to get out more, don't I? I let intuition be my guide for this...so if ya don't like it, don't blame me..blame that danged ol' intuition. I had to do the background a couple of times.

OMG! You and Gwen Bell need to be spanked for excelling in this challenge. Mere mortals like myself are very intimidated by this awesome work you know....
ReplyDeleteSome nice work on your blog. I went back a bit and have some faves. You've been doing this a while! You have a great handle on light.
ReplyDeleteNice work on a difficult subject.
ReplyDeleteYour loose style of painting and colors are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the concept you have of closing in on a subject in a series--I love the little girl and mom at the beach, and the sushi is great!
ReplyDeletereally nice, Dean! You showed us the beauty is sushi...wow!
ReplyDeleteGood enough to eat Dean! These look like the very delicious California rolls (which I had at lunch yesterday... a little subject research, heh heh!). Beautiful painting with some great colour choices.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dean! I'm just sitting down at the easel to paint my sushi--wish I hadn't looked at yours first. I love the warms and cools you have going. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the red and blue palette...yummy.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Sheila...you kidder you. :)

ReplyDeleteDean, thank you for your nice comments on my blog, and I like the triptych effect of the close-ups....It's like the attack of the sushi! Run away!! Seriously, this is some fine sushi art!!
ReplyDeleteI really like your color choices on this one! Great intuition!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark moodiness along with the reflections of moisture in the sushi and sauce!
ReplyDeleteAttack Of The Sushi...Lol...does sound like a horror film title,Deb! Thanks for stopping in.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle. I had no idea what my color scheme would be until I started...kinda like flying by the seat of your pants...in other words: intuition.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilary. It seems I often gravitate toward plenty of darks.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cathyann...Lol...I certainly don't think you stole my idea in any way. I love your close cropped version.

I took some time to go through your past postings and just love the color choices and presentation. I appreciate the closeups to get to see the brushwork better. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent DSDF piece, I love the way you really made them be the focal point and the lighting lends wonderfully overall!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Maria. I really enjoy posting close ups of the work. It presents a different view of the art even to me...and I painted it...Lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Erika!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the closeups. It's interesting how my first impression was that you painted every grain of rice, yet I see that you didn't... I love that effect. I imagine the texture in person is very pleasing to the eye.
