Almost there






I'm almost satisfied with it.

Now trying to decide whether to add a piece of orange peel at the base of the bowl. I'm waiting until the painting is dry enough to paint it in and still be able to wipe it off again if I don't like it!

I love your still life paintings! You do such a remarkable job on them.

I think I agree with you that a peel at the base of the bowl would probably add to the painting.

I decided to try adding the extra element in Photoshop just to see how it would affect the painting and I was disturbed by it. The added element tended to divide the image instead of enhancing it so I decided against it.

It caused your eye to jump to that element instead of the original focal point of the peeled orange in the bowl.

Photoshop is a wonderful tool!
