Somber Fruit more somber now

Apologies. I took the picture of Somber Fruit with the wrong camera setting. The photo depicted the fruit as not somber, but downright cheerful. Ha! Anyway I redid it. Here's the better photo.

I'm working on something I think is a companion piece to Strangely Dark Vegetables. It's called Night Peaches. I should be done with this bizarre piece tonight. You have been warned.

The Red Tablecloth posted here earlier is a jumbly mess. I plan to 'finish' the painting and then do it over in an entirely different manner.


Now What?

What can I say about this? It's called Red Tablecloth and who knows where it's going? I've got to dim out the way background and lay down some kind of opposing color as flooring under the table. And lot's of detail work, but not too much. Like in the Talking Heads song where it goes, "Tell me a little bit, but not too much." I may have already 'told' too much here. But there is a Plan B for this thing. Don't ask.

post script: If you think that bottle looks too big, it does. But the actual bottle is even way bigger in real life than I painted it.
