"Three's a Crowd"

Fun painting. The pear on the left kept falling down while I was painting it, so I had to prop it up eventually.

"Terra Cotta"

You westerners might appreciate the fascination I had with seeing bright green moss growing in the wood grain. In most places I've lived, there's no such thing as moss- unless it is on the top of a pond.

"Standing Out Above the Crowd"

I recently did a painting of a flower field that I absolutely loved. I used the palette knife a lot in that one, so this was sort of an experiment in control with the palette knife.

So I'm figuring out the blog stuff. I posted three paintings today, but I really have been finishing a painting every day this week. The bucket of apples that I finished Monday night was one I'd been working on for a few days. I consider this being on a roll.

"Yellow Apple on Colorful Fabric"

This was one of our beautiful crispin apples from the pumpkin patch. Its been sitting in my studio as inspiration for a couple of weeks, so I finally decided to shine a light on it and paint it.
