realism

It is not where you start, but where you finish

This painting started out a dark blob, as Maryanne said. I doubted I could describe and delineate the vegetables clearly enough. But after close observation, I put it all together. This is a picture of the Open Veggie Sandwich at Duck Soup in New Hope Pennsylvania. Carla makes it different each time she cooks it. The day I took the photo for this painting I thought her creation was particularly masterful. The pancake in the upper left corner looks good too.

Figure composition

Also working on this after being inspired to think more about composing during Peter Van Dyke’s painting course

Trompe l’oeil

Working on my first Trompe l’oeil in Fred Danziger’s PAFA Zoom class. Working this small and detailed is not for me.
