Seagrapes, Alla Prima, Daily Painting

"Seagrapes"
9 x 12 inches
(ready to frame)
Acrylic on hardboard


This was a quick fun painting, it started as a study of a young seagrape bush, and turned into more of an abstract: with the focus on repeated circular shapes and bold colors. This plant was lit up with briliant light and wonderful deep shadows. As I painted it, it became more about the interesting shapes and patterns than the actual leaves and colors.

Thanks for looking!
