When I try out new techniques, I first make small paintings with simple things, such as fruits.
These are 2 of those small paintings.

6,5×10 in

Excellent. Fantastic control of color and light.

unbelievable. the quality of light is mesmerizing, it’s like a portrait of light not fruit.
bring a soft warm grey to the tablecloth under the pear and these’ll sell before weekend.

C&C welcome

Gorgeous! The detail, colors, lighting, everything is incredibly well done. I’m curious what the technique was you were trying out?

Just gorgeous Mark! One day, hope to be able to achieve that high degree of realism with my own attempts – and even go one step further with additional superfine detailing, e.g clearly painting those intricate patterns of veins found in leaves.
Impressive and inspiring.

Excellent work.
Thank you for posting them.
I’d also like to know which technique you were trying.

this is just me, but simple things are the best things too,
some paintings get too busy with stuff, like clutter.
very well painted.

Wonderful work Mark, everything I strive for you accomplish. Just fantastic.

(Currently have a painting with fruit in it myself, they’re stuck on about 85% finished while I work elsewhere, and this makes me want to get back to them immediately! )

Love how the background and tablecloth are similar in hue but very distinctly painted on the pear painting. Lovely, both of them.
