Title
A Conversation, Eggplant Greeting Shell
Artist
Catherine Twomey
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
These companions together were perfect. I don't know if it was the shapes (intriguing), the colors (harmonizing), the tension (subtle) or all of that - they just had to be painted.
Process
My painting process is to first layer in a warm color, like burnt sienna, onto white linen canvas. With that thin layer still wet, I wipe out the lightest areas, which later provides luminosity and usually is enough to define the shapes. Next, I apply the lightest and then darkest areas, which helps to establish the values and colors. Finally middle tones and more detailed areas are applied, always looking to harmonize the colors, refine the drawing and focus on the center of interest.

Thanks so much Joel! You are most kind. I think, in addition to be a superb artist, you could also have a career in writing!
