Many have asked what happened to the apple postings? Well, my grandmother recently passed away and getting my postings up to speed has been sorta rough. Thank you for all of your concerns, I really appreciate the comments.....postings will resume shortly.

Day 070

Drawing an apple on it's side is a bit challenging. I f0und myself tilting my head while drawing this. Maybe I should have just drawn the apple upright and then transform it? But I'm glad I did it this way, because when painting on location.....ctrl + z and the transform tool is not at my disposal.

This angle is definitely out of my comfort zone....and this is a good reminder why I chose to do this project. I anticipated times where the perspective and tones will not work! In this case, I could not achieve the roundness along the top of the apple. It was looking like a tomato.

The more I troubleshoot these problems while painting I should be more at ease when painting a subject on it's side....like a fallen over tree trunk. Okay enough rambling....more painting :)

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Even Sasquatch get hungry too.....having a little fun since I've been working on super hero characters with my latest gig. So I just drew a quick hand study and added some fur while holding an apple.

Quite a different angle.....thought I'd paint a low view of an apple on a wooden table.

Day 065

Wow, what a wonderful sunny Sunday! Decided to enjoy the afternoon by driving around the North Bay and checking out antique stores. Great place to see some interesting painting collections. Each one has a story....was the artist well known for his/her time? Is it just a personal collection from the seller? Can't help but wonder if one of my paintings will end up here? Is that a bad thing? I dunno....let's wait and see the price tag first. LOL. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
