"A Peeled Orange and Monet" Oil on 5x7 board


sold


 I had a lovely visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and I bought a box of note cards in the gift shop, with Monet's paintings on them.  I bought them thinking I could use them in a painting.  I liked all the greens and blue in this one.  The orange almost seems like it could be a lemon now that I look at it, it's so yellow.. but, it really was that yellow!   I'm happy with how it came out.

    Lovely! The yellows look beautiful with the blues and greens. And I really like the light background. Really cheerful.

      Thank you, Virginia! Cheerful is the same thing that came to my mind too!

    What an awesome idea, combining a painting in your still life!

    This is a beautiful painting! I like how the flat image on the note card contrasts with the three dimensional lemon.
