Taking a break from my big painting of Isolated Showers, which you can see on my studio blog, I set up 3 little red plums that I bought just to paint. I always have loved the purple plums much more. Well, when I was done with this set up I punctured one of the red plums and I figured I should eat it and .... delicious! Now I'm a red plum fan, too. These were very difficult and I wiped it off a couple of times, but then just said "Oh, just PAINT it!", so I did. :)
I got these new painting panels from Karl Heerdt and couldn't wait to try them. He's a Daily Painter, and has been making his own panels - decided to make it a little business. They're nice! They're pretty inexpensive (with shipping my pack of 10 cost $20) and they're canvas on masonite. On the way to the studio I stopped to get some corn for tonight's dinner and saw three bins of plums. Now, I LOVE plums, and I love the color of them, too. So... at the studio I put them on a beautiful green background - and - voila!
