More pattern play. This time lemons and oranges.

Table cloth, this piece of fabric. I’ve been dragging this around for years. Always meaning to sew something with it. Maybe that will still happen. Right now, she’s a table cloth under a plate of lemons and oranges.

Feeling bolder about my fabric rendering! Having fun. Here’s how things progressed. Did a bit of glazing for the background. Yellow first, then Rose, finally Cobalt blue. And then honestly, a million more things happened. I am attempting to get a bead on how things evolve with my paintings. Been asked too many times, “How did you do that?” and find myself saying, “ I don’t know.” So here I am on a mission to know!
