Oil Painting: Grapefruit & Knife

6" x 8" Oil on Canvas Panel

This is a still life of a grapefruit with an old grapefruit knife. The knife has indentations for your fingers in the handle and the blade narrows and curves at the end, so while this painting may look distorted, it is not too far off. I tried to also capture the lumpy shape of the grapefruit with its peachy shading. This was fun to paint and I really like the blue background on this one.
