Red onion and abstracted background

I had the accidential set up removed some days ago as it was in the way, I reworked the onion with a similar setup on a table lower - and applied more paint

did a rework of the onion below
and another red onion further below

Daffodil and red onion

Appr 15x15 cm oil on canvaspaper

red onion

Above I did a revisited or repainting from the one below, not sure how good the photo is.

taking a good photo of this is difficult, there is some more pure red just up right to the highlight,

it is quite a challenge of a subject, think it is because the shell leaf is transparent that with less light makes it blend with a darker color under and with a whole more light it developes more light reds.

Red onion on green

A last step on this one above

15x15 cm (appr 6x6 inches) oil on stretched canvas
20febr I did do a bit more refining onthe onion, with a little more paint and changed the drawing a bit with the dry leaf. try and post it soon

Its done over two days, with the first day having the dark red underpainted with warm greys else the rest was done directly. Next day the light green was stepped up a bit in value with a warmer green and the dry leaf refined more and hightened the value of the lighter red.

Avocado and clementine

21/4 one more time repaint the clementine, maybe lost a bit however it is still possible to develop from this

6/2 Hope to back soon with some works, maybe get something done next week.

Appr 12x17 cm (5x7 inches) cm oil canvasboard
It went into rework and I think the clementine works better now, I messed a little with the viewing angle and the light source and placed another avocado, that gave more green light on top

Decided to repaint the clementine   change the design somehow ?


(WinterlightGentofte lake I have cropped some of the top and mounted to masonite further below)

began with the background (a door and the wall) thenmoved to the avocado, whereI could use the the tones from the background with the green, then the clementine. Next day a slight touch up of highlight and reflection of the clementine. the board is nice from pintura, fine smooth surface.
I thi nk for the best framing, the board should be cradled and lists added around.

Apple on canvas background reworked

Appr 8x11 cm oil on canvas
the one below was first made ( I am going to cease with this) as test on a small piece and it turned out ok, just not so good to frame, so I decided to add pieces and do some rework,
(btw here the opieces have been mounted, the one behind id judt to show what it is, a paper for oil that I shellacked)
First I painted more the colors as I know the canvas is, here I decided to show it is in the late afternoon and the light is bluish, also I corrected the drawing most of the red part is reworked and the highlight.
The title of the post is a little misleading as I did a first try with repainting the background that could look like this just not so bluish, and later on I remove this again (just turp) and decide to correct the drawing.
(btw for those it could be of interest, I dont just work over what is there, I use a sharp knife and carefully remove the small parts of dark red that should not be there).

It maybe got better in one way and maybe lost a little.

Clementine in a late winter afternoon

11x13,5 cm (4.5x5.5 inch) canvas mounted on card with extra margin for framing
not the worst not the best photo maybe can make a betterphoto later

Decided to repaint the clementine, first removed all paint with a knife and a bit of acetone, then a light application of shellack, it takes that the rest of the oil film is quite dried, then acrylic gesso can be applied, I hadto remove still more paint that was not dry enough and then the shellack adhered and the gesso as well

it does not appear from the photo but the colors painted directly to to the raw priming made the colors a bit too dark compared to what the photo shows here and I was not happy withthat, the repainting is more that

11x13,5 cm
Again did this one recently alla prima, not thebest canvas then later added more solid paint to the clementine
The darkshape comes froma window and it is late in the afternoon

Orange with apple

10x12 cm oil on canvas mounted on board (with extra margin)

made this one as a first work in daylight alla prima and then later by artificial light I went for adding more paint and make more interest to the background (that firstwas a mix of ochre b siena and black not too dark)

Orange on dark

Appr 20x25cm oil on linen
Also one I did recently, it took some time to dry and I did a bit of refining later. I had this piece with a first toning that has dried a long time.

Apple

Appr 10x10cm oil canvas
Its been some time, a little one here done alla prima last week with a little touch up later.
I began with a test and as it turned out ok I decided to add two pieces of canvas glued to another piece.
Also worked a bit more on the quiet lake, lookfurther down

Winter light Gentofte lake reworked

Appr 11x14 chose to crop it abit of the top , and the photo appear better
its been mounted to masonite with alittle extra margin for a frame

Appr 12x16 cm oil canvas
just got around color and values and think the reflection of the distant trees works better.
This is just before an early onset of winter in november, so there is still a foot into some fine autumn grass, but it could just as well been snowing.

Here is the first work, maybe the colors are not all exact

If I dont get something posted tomorrow I wish everyone a happy(glaedelig) jul, an old nordic word (jól) for christmas and glaede means happiness, because this time of the year was celebration of the light returning again - in english it is yule it probably means something like a wheel or something that turns around fun enough the danish word for wheel is hjul. There is also the word julehold
and it has been here long before christianity came -
Christianity in Denmark came with king Harald bluetooth in year 960 and the idea of an christian jul came around maybe 1200
