Had a very specific image in mind when I painted this, and I'm greatful that I have the opportunity to paint these again at a later date, practice makes perfect!
This was very difficult to photograph, had a tough time with reflecting oil off the canvas.
One of my favorite fruits, mangos yum! these grew in abundance in south africa and indulged in this delicious fruit often. Enjoyed painting it as much as I'm gonna eat it lol!
As usual leavin everything to the last minute lol! This was one of the more challenging paintings, didnt think I'd get this dun on time to take a pic of it before sundown, there was just enough daylight to take a pic. Whew! May have to re-take tomorrow.
My name's Naomi Grindlay, originally from Southern Africa, made my way to Canada just over a decade ago. Great move! I love Canada! Especially Vancouver Island, spent a fair bit of my time painting en pleine aire, one of my favorite pastimes.
The paintings on this blog are all painted en pleine aire and the still life are painted from life.
