Day 20: Cantaloupe on good-rimmed plate

This is a painting that I had mostly finished for day 19 of the thirty day challenge. I just didn't like it enough to photograph and post it. The background was too insipid... a muted green-grey and it did nothing for the beautiful freshness of the wet juicy orange fruit (which was as delicious (even after baking under the lights) as it looks).
So I added just a note of indanthrone blue to a lot of white and knifed it over the other background. This did it. For me, it makes the orange sing.
