The Lure of Glass

 

Pomegranates with Glass Jar, oil on linen

An interesting process, painting this fruit and jar still life. When it started to look like soup, instead of what I wanted, that was the moment for me to trust the process completely and I happily completed this in the second session.


Why was it tricky? I think the tones are all very similar, so in this case it is often quite difficult to get clarity, in mind and on the canvas.
