Plums Still Life With Old Bottles

"Plum Tonic" 

9"x 12" on wood mounted linen panel

$328.50 purchase on Ebay

I love these antique tonic bottles found among my family's things many years ago. I finally incorporated them with these gorgeous plums. I don't often see them with the blue surface intact, usually being washed and rubbed off.  Still life painters sure get excited about the most average day things! We hope to share that excitement with our viewers.

I painted this a month or so ago and forgot to post. The background color changed a couple of times until I could call it finished but now it is ready to leave the studio and go to a new home.

Plums and pears are my favorite fruits to paint. I just love the challenge of painting that blue haze that floats on the surface of Plums. This painting on my iPad loses the cool blue of the background. Lately I’ve been frustrated with the inconsistency of colors from one device to another. On my phone the blues are true. My recent honey jar was the worst, colors appear different on phone, iPad, computer and eBay listing! 

I’m excited to say that this painting sold within 4 minutes of being posted on FB! Fastest sale ever!
