Blue Pot and Clementine
6x9, oil on canvas (unstretched)

​The concept of this painting is to guide the viewer's eye from left to right by using color and light. To do so, I used a very dark and colorless environment and saved my saturated colors for the point of interest. The grapes are almost colorless except for a little Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red Light to show the light passing through. They also guide the eye as we move to the culminating point (the blue pot), where the color gets more intense. I also used a grape in the cast shadow of the pot to prevent the viewer's eye from escaping the canvas.
