Mango I is the first in a series of paintings on the luscious mango. Not only did I have the fun of reproducing its shimmering skin using my oil paints, but I got to eat it afterwards! It was great fun varying the pressure of my brush to achieve the mango's glow. The biggest challenge was keeping the light and shadow on the mango separate, yet softening the transition between the light and shadow. How did I do? Now let's feast on some mango in my recipe, Mango Curry Quinoa! Please note the photo displayed for this painting may look different from the one displayed on your computer monitor. I've adjusted the colors to look as close as possible to the actual painting.Recent paintings will be varnished and require drying time. The painting will be shipped after it has completely dry.
