"Pink Roses" by Jonathan Aller

"Pink Roses"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Hi everyone, hope your holidays are going really well.  This is my first painting back from vacation, and let me tell you it was hard to get back into it.  I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to paint this many roses in one session.  I'm glad I got it done, I learned a lot though still trying to push my technique as much as I can.  The colors that are in these roses are just beautiful!  So many different hues of pinks, it was really fun developing each rose on my painting.

"Pears Hugging" by Jonathan Aller

"Hugging Pears"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Happy Holidays everyone!  I've created the last painting of the pear series.  Painting these guys has been fun and challenging.  Their skin texture is pretty unique, it has smooth areas as well as rough spots.  It challenges you how to render with the paints with each area.  Pears also bruise easily and start getting spotty with time.  It definitely has a lot of translucent layers which make it more of a challenge to paint.  Overall its challenging but that's painting in general, if we don't push ourselves outside our comfort zone then it becomes harder to grow as an artist.

"Leaning Pears" by Jonathan Aller

"Leaning Pears"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
This is another painting of pears I've done, again experimenting with my technique to see how much I can push myself.  It was a lot of fun creating the textures on these pears and playing with smooth and rough textures.  It really teaches you a lot how to render in different levels.  I also love the play of red and green in this painting, of course coinciding with this holiday season.  It's interesting playing with these two colors since they are compliments.  I've noticed the green pear reflects the color from the red pear but the red pear absorbs the color of the green pear.   Really interesting to say the least.

"Pears" by Jonathan Aller

"Pears"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Hi everyone, I'm revisiting these pears to try out a new approach to painting.  Painting pears is always a challenge, their skin has so much complexity to them.  The subtle values from one area to the other varies greatly in each area of the pear.  Their colors also are a lot of fun to paint, the middle values always contain so much chroma.  Overall it's a challenge but a joy to paint these guys, I'm excited to get back to them.

play with a different background color.

"Berries on top"

"Berries on top"
5 x 7 in
Oil on Canvas
These berries can say so much with just the simplest composition.  I think I can paint berries for a full year and not use the same composition.  These guys are just to much fun to paint.  Aside from painting these berries, this past weekend we went through a really bad blizzard!  It was interesting to go through a weather phenomenon like that.  I'm used to hurricanes and bad storms in florida, but this was definitely a category of its own.  The storm dumped 20 inches of snow on us, and truthfully it looks amazing! It's a pain in the butt to drive through, but to see four foot snow mounds all over the place is pretty surreal.  This type of weather is perfect to stay in and paint, can't ask for anything better.

"Trail of Berries" by Jonathan Aller

"Trail of Berries"
7 x 5 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Hi everyone, this painting was so much fun to do.  I wanted to have an interesting composition with these berries and I think I've achieved it with this painting.  I kept the background white to enhance the limited colors used.  The more I paint these berries the more I can see how intricate they are within, from there colors to there shapes.

Another familiar Minnesota scene. Winter! This is a winding canyon road that drops down into the lovely little community of Lanesboro in Southeast Minnesota. I have sketched this several times, but never painted it because I wasn't pleased with the composition. After a fresh snowfall this week ( and maybe the right attitude) I saw it in a new light and the composition spoke to me.

"Raspberries" by Jonathan Aller

"Raspberries"
5 x 7 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
After painting the radishes I decided to go smaller with these raspberries.  I really love the way the reds glow within and also how light reflects from the black raspberries.  With this painting I also wanted to tackle a different wooden base and its textures.  It was definitely challenging in many ways, the wood reminded me of "seneca" the painting I did back in Florence.  It had similar textures in the wooden base which was neat to revisit after such a long time.  The raspberries themselves where also fun to paint and even better to eat!

"Radishes' by Jonathan Aller

"Radishes"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
 I'm done with the tangerine series for now and glad to move onto these radishes.  I've done these radishes before and find it really challenging to paint the leaves, that's why I wanted to paint them again.  It was fun experimenting with the paints to get the right feel for the leaves.  Also playing with the two complimentary colors red and green was a neat idea to incorporate.

"Leaf & Tangerine"

"Leaf & Tangerine"
7 x 5 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Hi everyone, well this is the third and final painting of the tangerine series.  I've been wanting to paint these tangerines with their leaves for a while and glad I was able to do so.  With this painting I tried something different from my usual approach to rendering.  I wanted to make the painting be more alive rather than seem to polished.  I really liked playing with the looseness of the paints, to capture the lights and sculpt them to a quality I haven't done so in a while was entertaining and challenging.  I'm not saying this painting is completely loose, but it has different characteristic than I usually go for with my technique.  As stated in my other posts I really like trying new approaches with my technique, this allows me to find new avenues I never thought of and ones I hope not to go back too.  As long as ones constantly pushing themselves to reach that next level, there will always be new discoveries along the way.

Vagliagli Doorway


In the tiny village of Vagliagli in Tuscany, this Lovely Tuscan doorway was in one of those hidden coves you discover as you wander thru the winding village streets. I loved the softer green plants contrasted with the hard roadway and building and stone
I painting this on a gessoed 400 # Rough Textured Watercolor paper, hoping the texture of the paper would add another layer of depth to the stucco covered building.

"Leaning Tangerine" by Jonathan Aller

'Leaning Tangerine"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
This composition was so much fun to create, it was a challenge to say the least.  To keep the tangerine staying in that position I didn't move for the whole painting.  Painting these fruits and vegetables so much I've started to play more with the composition, seeing what works best for the subject and how interesting I can make it look.  It's so much fun seeing how far one can go.

"Tangerine" by Jonathan Aller

"Tangerine"
7 x 5 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Hi everyone! I'm back and it feels so good to paint these little guys again.  I've been busy getting ready for shows and commissions, finally it's calmed down and I'm able to dedicate more time to these paintings.  It was a little rough at first getting started with this painting since I've been out of the loop for a couple weeks.  After 20 minutes I felt like I never left it, I really enjoy painting these alla prima's.  It's so crucial for the development of one's technique, the more you practice the more you get to know your craft and the better you get.  
I was at the store and noticed this wonderful tangerine, its stems and leaves have so much character to them.  The way a leaf is positioned can easily say so much and also be so subtle.  Painting tangerines can be challenging due to the subtle shifts of oranges and yellows.  At the same time the lighter areas can be so much fun, you can play with the impasto's and be gestural.
