Salad Fixins-Vegetable Still Life

Oil on 7x5 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW Challenge. It was hosted by the fine artist, Diane Mannion.

This week's challenge was to paint a vegetable from life. Direct painting. Take a break from those photos. Not only will this be good practice but healthy too. Really look at your subject, study it closely and you'll see colors and shapes you never noticed before. Have fun with it and when you're finished... eat your subject.
I did as instructed and the resulting salad was delicious!

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.
Here is my submission for the latest DSFDF.
I first toned the support with subdued red acrylic. This step really helps to unify and harmonize the surface. I have used this procedure for a number of years and keep coming back to it.
Once again, I forced myself to be more generous with the paint- pick it up on the edge of the brush- apply it with a touch- go back for more...none of that scrubbing it on to stretch it.
