I'm really enjoying the dark backgrounds with the image emerging from the shadows. For one thing I don't have to decide what color to paint - some form of black works for all.
For a long while on my painting journey I sought to loosen up with all my brushwork and paint like so many that I admire. Since coming back this year after a several months break from painting, I'm finding that the more realistic style is where I really feel at home and the paintings are just flowing with little effort. I think I'll stay at "home" for a while - loving the comfort zone. This may be what finding one's artistic voice is all about - for so long I was not listening......

Think you have definitely found a niche. Beautiful paintings lately. This pear jumps out of the painting.
Simply beautiful.

In today's art world, representational feels shunned at. I too toiled with my personal voice. Finally I decided to accept my direction and embrace it. Glad you've come to the same decision. This painting is beautiful!
wonderful!
Keep up the great work, Marilyn, you have something very special!!!
Stunning. I love the variation in textures. Wow.
After reading your caption I looked back at your older works - all very lovely! I agree though, this style seems to be your true self! Your new ones indeed have the WOW factor.
LOVE!
