Sunlight and Nectarines
(20" x 30", oil on canvas)

For anyone who is familiar with my work, this is a huge departure.

Perhaps it is because there are fewer daylight hours, but I am lately really keen on sunlight-flooded works. The nectarines are saturated with bright hot colour that is further emphasized by the surrounding cool tones of white. Both warm and cool tones coexist in the cast shadows adding an element of playfulness.

Reminder: This is the last week to see my show "Food for Thought" at Wallack Galleries in Ottawa http://www.wallackgalleries.com/
