Ruby & friends


Click to Buy  –  6x6" Acrylic on 1/8" Hardboard Panel

A ruby red grapefruit is joined by three friends, cherries, from the previous painting. Rather than the cad red light background behind the grapefruit, which would be lost showing thru the the orange tones, I took a page from the Impressionists playbook and used a complementary or opposite color for its underpainting. In this case the beautiful Cobalt Blue, which is also used in the shadows.
