Limes from some countertop somewhere

This is a new old thing here. I made a mefium dark rosey background as a challenge.

I drew the limes with a pastel pencil.

I chose a palette that doesn't have a strong yellow or green… am I nuts.

It’s the start

6x6 oil on panel ‘25

I used only the Red, Yellow and Blue colors of the Semi Neutral Table to mix my color. In the end I’m hoping the the values tell to story.

I’ll wait til it’s bone dry then Ill glaze some full intensity color to see how that works.
