Autumn Squash - Oil on Panel, 7 x 5 inches
Oil on Panel, 7 x 5 inches
I’ve been hanging on to this squash for a while, waiting for an opportunity to paint it.
What interested me about it (apart for it being so gorgeously lumpy) was the two local colours - an orange and a yellow/green - that both had to be modelled convincingly to show the form, and they needed to be consistent with each other.
It’s generally called “holding the local”, and means that the object must appear to be the same colour in both the light and the shadow areas. Munsell is a huge help with this, since hue generally changes very little from light to shadow. Having a reliable way to check what’s actually happening to the colours you see can be a life saver!

How to bid
Just click the "bid here" link above and enter your name, email (this will be kept private) and the amount you want to bid.
The auction uses proxy bidding, which means you can set a Maximum Bid, and until that's reached, you're protected from being outbid. So if Bidder A places a Maximum Bid of $200 and Bidder B comes along to try and outbid A, A will be protected till B outbids A over $200.
You’ll be notified of any other bids and whether you’ve won the auction by email automatically. If you win the auction, I’ll send you an email with a link to pay by PayPal.
PLEASE NOTE: you’ll need to refresh the page to see the latest bids. As the auction comes to a close, it may look as if you’ve won when the countdown finishes, but you’ll only see the most recent bids if you refresh the page, so there may have been more bids that you’re not seeing!
