Whew!  Done!  I was out of town and didn't have access to post these last paintings the past few days, so here's the caboose!  I started with apples and ended with apples.  I just love Carol Marine (who doesn't!?) and her apple paintings.  Seeing online how she has her workshop students take an apple and paint it in ten minutes over and over, I thought I would give it a go.  That's what I did for the "Four Little Apples" and then set up a few apple compositions to finish out my apple practice and the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.

 

So this weekend, I was in Bentonville, Arkansas and bought a bunch of apples fresh from the farm and can't wait to taste them.  I also was able to visit Crystal Bridges Museum again!  I NEVER get tired of it!  It is amazing!  Thankfully, my husband loves it, too!

 

Thank you all who have followed along and encouraged!



Day 22/30: "Sitting in the Sun" *SOLD*

"Sitting in the Sun" *SOLD*

16" x 12"

Oil on Canvas

Since I am challenging myself with glass - and the new additional challenge of flowers - I thought I'd try this set up of primary colors.  I did something similar at a Qiang Huang workshop in the fall and I really liked it.  The canvas I used is Fredrix Dixie Cotton and I just love it!  When I felt it I thought, "Oh, no, this is going to tear up my brushes!"....it seems really rough....but I love the texture!  I'll be ordering more of this!

Thanks for looking!
