There was something regal about these two, hence the name, despite the queen sitting in a soap dish, not a throne. I started out thinking “values and planes” and then, as usual, got seduced by color and detail. I did manage to keep some of the planes I saw in this pomegranate (which was becoming more faceted as it became more elderly, having been painted a few times over the past couple weeks). However, I’m not sure the painting actually benefitted from leaving the planes (or so many of them) visible.
Below is a photo of the set up and below that the two previous pom/persimmon paintings that were a nice warmup and introduction to the subject, though perhaps not terribly successful in terms of paint application, composition and/or drawing.

Wow! I absolutely love your final painting. I don’t think the pomegranate is too faceted at all. I enjoyed seeing your other two paintings and seeing how you evolved. You really got to know the persimmon and pomegranate well! I have to say, I really like your second painting with the 4 poms on the black plate also. It would be a tough pick. You did a great job painting both the plate and soap dish black. Love all of the subtle colors in those. Bravo!
