Challenge painting" Oranges and a red flower"

Challenge painting" Oranges and a red flower"

This is an acrylic painting that I did for the challenge group on Blogger. Paintanddrawtogether which you can see here.http://paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com/
The original still life looked fairly simple but it turned out to be more difficult to get the correct shading. Plus I think it looks like my oranges look like they are floating. ( ghost technique for Halloween!)

Original challenge painting
"Still life with Oranges"

Every month or so  a challenge in the form of a photo is given and then artists from all over the world  respond to the challenge. Sometimes the artists will paint just part of the original but all will choose their own medium of paint /pastel or even pencil and their own style to make a painting to share with the others.It is most interesting to see the variety of paintings that come each month.
