MANNA oil on canvas on board, 5x7

Avocados are my favorite food. We eat them almost every day, so this is a normal scene in my kitchen. There were 2 light sources for this still life--the indirect light from the window on the left, and the direct incandescent light from the right. That made for an interesting study of colors and temperatures and I'm pleased with the results.
