I'm a little behind on posting my new artwork. With the "back to school" chaos going on, I have been creating, but there does not seem to be much time left over for photographing, displaying and blogging. Now that the first day of school has come and gone, I'm ready to get back to my daily routine. Here is a piece that I did a few weeks ago while on vacation in San Antonio. It has a loose, abstract-ish feel that I adore! I want to see more of this in all of my paintings.

Petite Painting #11 by Pamela Blaies

Red Grapes in a Glass

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

Here is Petite Painting #11.  This painting is all about the light which seems to bounce all over this painting.  I toned the linen a bright red to start out. I think this really made a difference in the red grapes looking luminous, since the reddest-red was directly applied to the white canvas.  I used the palette knife to highlight the grapes, stem and the cup's shadow and was able to get the glass to really light up with crisp, thick pure white highlights.
