This was a lot of fun. I just wanted to put down some beautiful, juicy paint from very direct observation without over-rendering things, which is a tendency I can slide into when I lose touch with the painting. It’s as if my brain thinks that illusionistic rendering makes it art. It reminds me of Manet’s little painting of his pipe, on which he carefully wrote in paint,”This is not a pipe.” Right!

  5. Thanks for the explanation! I was definitely confused. Love your beach umbrella paintings, too. the more color the better, for me… especially when you echo them in celestial pastels.

  8. Thanks, Rhonda! I’m starting to be amazed at the amount of interest this little painting has attracted. It means even more to me when it comes from fine painters like yourself.

  9. Awesome color and contrast! Your brushwork is amazing in this piece…I especially like the brushwork on the container. Great job!

  10. Thanks, Todd. I’m always surprised that such a skilled realist painter, like yourself, takes the time to peruse and comment on work like mine. I’m flattered by your interest. I guess it works the other way, too, and that’s why I subscribe to your blog. :-)
