The Mysterious Persimmon

"The Mysterious Persimmon"

6x8 oil

A still life! Something a little different for me. It's been a while since I've painted one. I love the colors in the one and am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Not much to say about these little fruits. I've only painted them, never tried them. What do you do with them? Make pie? Jelly?  I just find them to be intriguing and mysterious... there's got to be some kind of story in the mysteries of this luscious little fruit. 

To all you writers out there - the challenge is on!

"Fuyu Persimmons"

8 x 10 in

Oil on Canvas Panel

Hi everyone I hope you guys have a great Halloween weekend!  What your costumes gonna be?  I saw these fruits at the store and was intrigued by them, they look as if they're a mix of tomatoes and oranges.  Their name is "Fuyu Persimmons" thats what it said on the tag at the store, pretty interesting looking fruit.  I really like the intense oranges and yellows that wrap around the skin, the leaves on the stem also give this fruit some character.  It was also nice playing with the composition, having the two fruits playing along the edge giving some intense drama.

"Petite Pastry"

7 x 5 in

Oil on Canvas Panel

Hi everyone today has been raining and getting colder as well, basically a perfect day to stay in and paint.  Its been fun doing larger paintings and switching to these smaller alla prima paintings.  I saw this petite pastry at the grocery store and it reminded me of the pastry I painted a while ago but much smaller, hence the name "petite".  Ofcourse I bought it and the good news was they gave me two for one!  These pastries have been so much fun to paint, learning how to render different textures and bring out the intense colors that are hidden within.  A good treat to a rainy day.

October Day

This was painted up in Grand Rapids, MN. I'm hoping that I will be able to paint again before the snow flys!

Au-dessus de Valence

Au-dessus de Valence

John Currie

9" x 12"

Oil on linen panel

I have a sister who lives in Valence, a city in Southern France between Avignon and Lyon. She also is an artist and some of my favorite moments are of the two of us painting together. I have painted three paintings of this scene, a simple road winding through farmland on a plateau above––au-dessus––her home. Normally, I paint en plein air, outdoors in natural light, but this one I painted in the studio from a photo that I took on a recent visit. The greens in this scan, I'm afraid, are a bit harsh (I do so want to master Photoshop some day...) but it captures the calm of that afternoon together.

I have been playing with colored grounds of late, rather than simply painting on white-gessoed canvas. This was painted on a linen panel, brushed first with a fairly pale wash of raw sienna and orange, just to warm up the undertones a bit. It adds a nice, understated complexity to the colors, especially the cool hues. It makes me want to go back and play and paint again soon, which I intend to do if the French can manage to keep the airports open until I get there...

Fall Harvest by Kristin Grevich

I started this painting in the studio in Grand Rapids, MN, when it was a boat house to see if the size would work for me as a studio. I kept adding things that I had at the cabin, squash for dinner, garlic, peppers, wooden bird, leaves, and a lemon! That is why I have a mixture of stuff!

This painting is 9 x 12 on Museum wrapped canvas, contact me at kgrevich@gmail.com or www.krisitngrevichart.com for more information on this piece.

Waldorf Cabin

This was painted at the 7-D Ranch in Wy. We had just arrived at the ranch for a week of painting. The evening light was fading fast with just a few highlights on the cabin and bushes. Such a magical place to paint. If you are interested in this painting email me at kgrevich@gmail.com. Thanks

Under Grey Skies, the Stream Meanders

Under Grey Skies, the Stream Meanders

John Currie

8 x 10

oil on linen panel

Usually, grey skies equal lifeless paintings. That's my plein air experience, at any rate. This particular afternoon, however, I loved discovering all of the gentle nuances carried in the layers of greens, from the edge of the stream to the forested mountains beyond. This time, the lack of definition was the surprise in the Cracker Jack™ box.

"Red Cherry Peppers no.3"

5 x 7 in

Oil on Canvas Panel

This is the third of the last painting of the red hot cherry peppers series.  With this painting I wanted to deal with edges and how to manipulate them.  I enjoyed bringing the intense reds out and making subtle shifts of values.
