My "Change The Color" Painting

This is my contribution to this week's DPW's Change The Color Challenge posted by Carol Marine.
Carol said: "I have always heard that if you are accurate with value you can really play around with color and still have the image "read" as 3-dimensional."
I did a value study first, and then painted on top of that, making sure each color matched the value underneath it( in most places)...some background value was changed a bit.

John 8:7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”

This is my contribution to the May challenge at the A Day Not Wasted blog. Lee Brown, the proprietor of ADNW, is a very dedicated artist and photographer. Stop over and join the challenge- it runs for the rest of May.

I chose the crop in really close in order to capitalize on the captivating textures and reflections.

As it happens so often, I was very dubious about the potential problems involved in this still life. But the more I got into it, the happier I became with it. I feel this painting was quite a good learning experience!
I hope you like it.
