A CHALLENGE FOR MY ARTIST FRIENDS!

I took this picture for a class, straight forward, three beautiful oranges under the sun with a light teal background. One of my favorite color schemes!
.
Well, yesterday was the first time I got to paint it at the same time as one of my brave students did...and what a surprise we got! It was HARD! The orange color, to make it light, dark, or vibrant wasn't as straight forward without overworking the oranges.
.
I would love for you to try it and post it as #6x6happyhabit. I would love to see how you solve it!
.
I'm on my second try today! I will post all of them once I'm happy with a result 😊.
.
I tagged all I remember by memory! But I want ALL of you to try!

Another paintings from my "look inside" series.

I had so many great answers with the limes (previous post), that I want to ask again!

This one has a different feeling I think, and it came as a surprise. The meaning and the feeling surprised me when I looked at it before finishing it and thinking...do I paint the seeds in or leave it seedless?

The seedless version won... What does this opened up pepper say to you?

Yesterday I realized that some of my paintings from the "look inside" series never made it to Instagram!

This group of 6x6's are fruits and veggies opened up, so we can take a peak inside. So many metaphors! I painted 6 and this is one of them.

What do these cut in half limes say to you?

Happy New year!
I woke up yesterday wanting to paint this and I did. After millions of flowers I went for straight lines, it felt refreshing and challenging at the same time, like a part of my brain that was waking up again. It was a great warm up and a good reminder. It reminded me that I also love to paint city scapes, and interiors and landscapes too, and that I ♥️ to travel and all that comes with it. This little study is what we saw from our hotel balcony @Badalona Spain during a trip from two years ago.
.
For a new decade filled with reminders of what we love to do and be and make and paint and the will to make them happen!
.
And no worries, I LOVE to paint flowers🌸...they will keep coming!
