Apples finished....

These Little Green Apples are finished and on my web page. I toned down the bowl and am pleased with the results.



I finished the red apples painting today. It is on my web page and I also finished the demo and it is on my page as well.

It is always amazing to me, even after all the paintings I have done, to see how one tiny stroke can make something look crooked or out of whack. Look at the close up of the apples and you can get an idea. That gives me an idea of a post ... to show one of these problems. Check back..



I plan to show these paintings in Magdalena at Peppers Gallery in their show on October 6 and 7. They will be offered for sale as a pair or individually.

I will also make some tile items with the apples on them for sale in my on-line store. I hope to finish that project tonight.

I like the final paintings and the demo is cool. It really is rather amazing that you get the end result from that thing at the beginning.

It is kind of amazing, huh? I really think that starting on a white canvas is intimidating and if it is already a "mess", it can only get better. :) I think also at this point that oil paintings and acrylics develop from an underpainting with more ease as well.
