Love Boat still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Ok, So here is the truth...I painted this and thought of Banana Boat but then looking at the enduring position of the cherries decided instead to name it love boat after all the banana is kinda shaped like a boat. 10x8 oil on canvas panel. I am really proud of the floral cloth and the solid blue strip cloth. I am venturing out in my set ups and adding more items/interest.

I will tell you that to the ordinary eye this may just look like any old banana but to the trained eye you will notice a lot of mid tones and if you squint a lot you will notice a small area of light that would be on the fruit itself and then there is a small amount of dark dark's. Yep it was all intentional. I don't know if I achieved what I intended but I am definitely closer than I was. I read somewhere that to add interest you need varied amounts of dark, lights and mid tones. Those tips of black were on purpose not accident. I am actually giving a lot more thought to the painting process and therefore my paintings must get better...right?  5x7 still life oil on canvas panel.
