Painting: carrots in oil
I am trying to do a painting a weekagain. Completed this painting today, a rainy day outside and nice and friendly in front of the fire. I can feel I’m rusty working on a painting. Very impatient and hurried. But I am gliding back into working mode again and inspiration is beginning to open its eyelids, albeit slowly.
Oil on canvas, 30x 25cm














Sounds like a lovely way to spend a rainy day. This is nice, not quite that light loose touch that I see in your watercolors but I think it’s the difference in the mediums…this has the look of a cold rainy day…isn’t that funny…

Love that title Ronell. At first I thought we were getting a recipe of carrots cooked in oil
But this is better, bright beautiful colors! And ol no less.

This looks like the fire! Sparks of flame, burning logs, glowing darkness behind it all! Lovely.

Clever title – I expected to see them there carrots frying in a pan!!! Whats the connection to food of late??? Good to see you working in this medium – it has a unique style.

I love it when you get your oils out, Ronell. This is a bouquet of sensory excitement and I love the way you’ve used the complementary colours to entice my eye around the composition.
One a week is something to look forward to.
