Still Life with Ripe Avocado

Comments

A very good still life. I love your colour choices.

Nicely done Fiona.

I like this one more, too, Fiona. A little more finished off and the three “ subjects” are luscious! Like the fluidity of it.

Thank you very much Sarah, your comment means a lot. It was Spencer…..all gone now! Thank you. Thanks Stephen! Marjorie, thank you. I think I could do with a bit more shadow on the lemon.

A superb painting Fiona , not my favourite fruit but I do love the colours of them .

Lovely colours Fiona , that aubergine looks spot on . The avocado doesn’t look that tempting, but you’ve captured it really well.

Lovely work Fiona hope your well

Sorry I missed your previous Fiona, but I do like this! I always love that touch of zingy blue you use.

Love the richness of the aubergine with the ripe avocado. A wonderful job on the flesh and stone and the subtle background Fiona.

Really nice work Fiona.

A lovely still life Fiona. There are some lovely,warm colours in it.

It is a really good still life, Fiona - I tried Avocado once and didn't like it but I like your painting!

I particularly like the subtlety of colours on the cloth Fiona.

Healthy eating but unpleasant taste on its own! Avocado I’m referring to…it’s the best painted of the trio, excellent in fact…but we’ve had this conversation before. I still think the lemon needs more shades of yellow, darker shades in particular and a sheen on the aubergine… obtained by mixing lighter variations of the purple. Cloth is good, but needs cropping a touch more on the R/H side… An attractive piece nonetheless, I’m nitpicking again as usual.

Fab still life, that avocado flesh is SO good!

I prefer this one Fiona, lovely work.

A super still-life and it reminded me off some of your earlier 'in the style of' still-life work Fiona.

Many thanks everyone for your kind and constructive comments, I enjoy reading your opinions.

I love the colours in this Fiona and that lemon just glows.

Thank you Val…….especially as you like my lemon 😂

Michael thank you for your observations ref the lemon and aubergine, I know it still needs attention but I know it won’t get it! 😂 I didn’t like avocados but tasted them a few years ago and wondered why I hadn’t taken to it , love the taste now. Many thanks Romila, comment.

Thank you very much Russell, I think you may be in the minority. 😂

Beautiful they look like a little family together snuggled up 😍

😂 I like that idea Faye, thank you. Many thanks Coral.

14”x10” oil on Arches oil paper. Following on from the mixed media still life I did of the same objects. After eating half the avocado I put the other half in the fridge for this still life, I didn’t manage to get to it until a couple of days after…..hence the colours. It was still tasty! 🤮 I prefer it to the mixed media still life.
