This is a third painting in my cocktail condiment series! Cheery cherries! Makes me want a cocktail. Like the olives and citrus slices , this was done in acrylic on board 24″x36″.
All three are now available as a blank note card. $3.00 each. Contact me if interested in cards or this available painting.
This was the inspiration! Juicy, deliciousness!!
I decided to make another painting a la Olive Progression and wanted to do something fun that wasn’t exactly the same repeated image. I chose to go with slices of citrus fruits – lime, lemon, and orange – for a colorful palette with a little more detail.
Step 1- Base coat
Step 2 – Placement design. Cutouts of the slices help give me an idea of where to place each colored fruit.
Step 3 – Let the painting begin! Base coat colors for the slices.
Step 4 – Starting in on the texture detail.
Step 5 – Adding more detail.
Step 6 – Looking more like a lime…
Step 7 – Finished lime!
All done! Makes me want a cocktail!
This is a commissioned piece for a bar in Hampton. These three pictures show the progression of painting olives. The undercoated olives are in yellow. I then base coated the olives in various shades of green. Then the final painting of the juicy olives. What can I say, “olive painting”!
Under coat (first step) in yellow.
Base coat in green.
Finished olives!
11 days of finding myself and also, the closest bathroom.
