"Writhing"


6x6", oil on canvas board

I haven't posted in awhile. You know, summer traveling for family and vacations. This means I did this awhile ago and I might not remember any issues I had. I can see that I ran into the question of what to do when you're  painting something on a reflective white surface: The lightest thing is the reflection, so you have to make the surface kind of grey. I think I tried to work in some yellow to offset that.

Outside of that, I really enjoy having roots or other things stick out past the edge of the bowl and create neat shadows.
