Ruby Red

















Ruby Red

6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on cradled panel

$150 unframed (no frame necessary)

This painting reminds me of so many Christmases when we were a young married couple and my husband would buy me a big box full of oranges and grapefruits from someone he worked with.  Some years only grapefruits were available; large, fragrant Ruby Reds so fresh that they would often last me through February or even March in a basket near a window in a cool, winter house.  A gorgeous mixture of pyrrole red and quinacridone magenta achieves the unique, saturated jewel tones of the red grapefruit in this still life.
