Asparagus (or the Blue Rubberband)

"Asparagus" 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord
SOLD (and lost to the great USPS in the sky)


After a really lovely Mother's Day, it was back in the studio this morning. This painting was for the Daily Paintworks Challenge - Paint Your Vegetable. This is the first time I have painted asparagus in oil, so it was a challenge in observation for me. As always I look for the lights and darks and try to paint those more importantly than the object itself.
