"Sushi and Chop Sticks"5"x 7" Oil on board.

detailIt 's another painting for the DSFDF challenge. Many artists paint from the same photo posted twice a month on Karin Jurick's blog. It is always such fun to see the many different interpretations of the same image. Check out her blog to see all the other paintings and the original photo provided.
This still life was just what I love to paint. I've never painted sushi and have only eaten it once, but I've always thought I would choose it as a subject to paint some day. The colors and textures make for a bright and appealing image to have lots of fun with. I've added the chop sticks for additional compositional balance and interest.
Thought for the day: Why are "chop sticks" named that? You can't chop with them and I've never seen anyone eat pork chops with them either!

This is beautiful, Marilyn! Your color and brushwork make this painting really stunning!!
Thank you, Dana, for your nice words.
OH!! Marilyn, I love your sushi!! You've really made it look so much more colorful and interesting than the reference photo!(but, then, that's the whole point isn't it?) but, not everyone can do that. To see something that isn't there, to make something special out of something ordinary takes a special kind of talent that you have.
Debbie, would you like to be my marketing manager?!
Marilyn, these gorgeous red pears just sing! They are bright and loose and simply luscious!
I appreciate them even more after reading the internal struggle you went through prior to creating them. Thank you for sharing your process with us.
It looks like you're well on your way to the loose, simplified style you have been after. Wishing you great fun on this part of your journey!
This is absolutely beautiful, Marilyn! Wonderful colors and brushwork.
The winner by a chopstick!

Very nice job! I love the colors - and how you managed to make the brushstrokes so interesting and detailed wihtout being overworked!
As always Marilyn, a beautiful job on this challenge. I really like your composition and of course the vibrant colours.
