Gloria J Zucaro's "Give it a Spin"


Today I am linking to the Daily Paintworks challenge "Make It Move" offered by Francesco Fontana.  I am also linking to Ria Hills January challenge  which is to do a piece of fruit in a still life, an apple was suggested.  I am combining both these challenges into a painting called "Spin the Apple"!  I also did a painting today for The Artist Playroom site hosted by Jennifer Mclean.  Her thought was to portray our weather wherever we live, well it is darned icy!   I combined two ideas again.  The movement from Daily Paintworks and the weather theme from The Artist's Playroom for "On Ice" below the apple.

  2. Very nice Gloria. Love the movement in both pieces. I like how the pink of the movement in the apple becomes a part of it. Nice job!

  8. I agree with everyone - your movement depiction is great. The apple is beautifully done and the abstracted skater is such a fun way to show icy conditions. Great work!

  11. Oh my word Gloria you've produced a amazing artwork here,
    It's a good job I'm sitting down because the movement on your skater would make me dizzy...how do you do that!
    It's stunning and such a fun way to enter the weather theme.
    Thanks so much for sharing.
    I'm absent this week from the play room but had to come an check on what everyone has entered.
    Have a great week! ;D
