You are amazing. These peaches are so velvet and lush and rich in layered colors. This image is very special will you have it in giclee at some time? Today I bought 5 varied colored peppers, yellow through yellow-green, green - red and yellow-red. will photograph them tomorrow, late day. choosing a background fabric or bowl.
Thank you for today's most wonderful painting.

Wonderful reddening harmony!
Now I am sure that there are three peaches on...Mars in the absence of Martians!A masterpiece again and again.

This is a totally different style for you??
It's beautiful but much more precise and not so loose as your usual style..
Love it!! (love loose too.)

Painter’s notes

I started this larger painting a month or so ago and got the peaches down in two afternoons—before they collapsed into their own ripeness (the next morning they were a sort of fuzzy blue mush). I finally got around to finishing the foreground this week.
