Lime Lineup

Had to get the brushes going again, and limes were available.

Sunlit Corner (completed)

Last finishing touches of deepening the darks in the distance and defining the clump of trees in the middle. Painting seems like such a recurring theme of lights and darks.

Last pomengranate

Today I finally decided on a convenient still life area and set up my supplies and a proper structure for it. So much better! My friend Mary came over and we energized it by painting. Problem - in the initial enthusiasm, I didn't do a preliminary sketch and therefore the neck of the bottle is cut off. Lesson learned. But I am happy with the pomengranate!

Sunlit Corner (update)

Last posted on Nov 27, this painting is still in process as I am getting great feedback and critique from Ian.

Escape

Was in Toronto for the past 10 days - had just finished these tomatoes before I left, and was really looking forward to paint each day. Seems that my concept of a "painting a day" is being very stretched!
