Colorful Plum

I painted this on a board that to which I attached a piece of primed canvas. I then toned the canvas with a cool purple and allowed it to dry.
I wanted to paint this plum with a cool background color to push the dark warm plum forward. Because I love color, I allowed this cool to be clean and intense which seemed more interesting than the usual greyed cool.

Small studies with defined goals for a little while.
