FIGURE 32

This was done in two sittings from a live model. I tried to finish it in one sitting, but I decided to leave behind my goal and do what the painting needed. It was fun to paint her warm reflective skin and red hair. I have shifted my approach to a more 'a la prima' painterly style.

PERSIMMONS AND POMEGRANATE

This was done more from invention than life. It made me think about painting in a more theoretical way, painting what I think would happen with light and color reflection.
