Greens Keeper


8x6 oil on panel

Ask Studio 47 about this painting.

This subject began to intrigue me during a trip to Whole Foods with my daughter's Daisy troop. We had a little tour through the market and as I looked around, I just fell in love with the bright colors and contrasts in the grocery. There was something about the strange florescent lighting too. I've done several grocery store scenes for this show. Below I've included a photo with it framed. Its in a gorgeous handmade, hand-finished, 3 1/2" pale gold frame. Really beautiful!

Very nicely done, Robin. How did you choose the frame? I find that difficult so I don't frame but rather I paint on the gallery wrap canvases that don't require framing unless you want to frame it. I find frames quite expensive and add to the cost of the painting making it harder to sell.

This is a beautiful painting. I can totally feel your love for your subject. Isn't that always what produces the best work?

The painting of this ordinary subject looks so un-ordinary here. A beautiful painting.

Really great, Robin. Love all the greens and the subject.

Where did you find such a beautiful frame?

Robin - an absolutely gorgeous painting - I have frame-envy big time too.
