Still Life with Bananas and Limes

"Bananas and Limes" (11"X14", Oil on Canvas, $325)

Here's the other painting I mentioned in the last post. It works well with the other one and has the same dimensions to make them fairly look like bookends. All the same ideas are here: the floating objects, the massed shadows and the plain, warm background. Also food.
The small size of these paintings makes them easy to fit with a group of other still lifes and easy to display when I do shows.
I like the curvy shapes of bananas and the variety of poses they can be put in. They always look casual and the yellow color always looks friendly.
