This is the second painting I worked on during the ainting Day With Mom, this past Easter holiday. I learned SO much, working on this!!
It was really complicated from the get go- a lot of shapes and colors to deal with- but what really was a problem was the pattern on the towel under the bowls. Originally I included it, then realized I needed to scrub it out- the painting was SO confusing to look at.
Had I been painting simple shapes, like apples, or pears laying on this patterned towel, it would have been awesome- but the cut fruit was too much.
So now that Ive toned down all the superfluous detail, Im quite happy with this. I love it when paintings teach me things!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
