Beautiful painting! Your brushstrokes bring an impressionistic quality and your composition is really interesting. I like the turned up paper and the apple just a bit off the paper. The blues seem to tie it altogether. And the little blue highlight on the apple is like the icing on the cake.
But you make simplicity look so easy! A great blog Dan. I really love your sense of colour and mood, both of which are complimented by an inspired sense of composition. Delighted to have stumbled across your works.

ReplyDeleteThis is an incredibly piece Dan. The composition is masterful, the colors rich and harmonious and the whole execution is outstanding!
