Apricots

8''x8'' oil on gessoboard - SOLD

Using the old colour theory of primary+opposing secondary, I decided a blue pot was required for these apricots.  Then I found the enamel mug and thought that might do too but in retrospect, it was an unnecessary and unhelpful addition.  Also, I can see now that the tonal value on the apricots needs to be stronger.  I will make amends and repost!   Oh well, you live and learn.  Back from holiday now so will hopefully be less erratic in my posts.  There were some absolutely gorgeous apricots in Turkey but these are from the vegetable stall here!
