"TWO FUJIS AND A GRANNY' 18" X 14" Pastel

Where would a still life artist be without apples - or pears, or oranges, or limes, or lemons, or peaches, or onions...ad infinitum. The bounty of vegetables and fruit available for interesting paintings just goes on. And their modeling fees are very reasonable!

  1. I really like that green apple--the shadow side has a lot of red in it. I like how you did that!

  5. Thanks, Kathy,
    Sometimes, a pattern of some sort - stripes, polka dots, etc. - offers a bit of energy and light-heartedness to a painting, don't you think?

  7. This is a gorgeous play of colors! Really striking :) And those apples are good to eat after they have modeled for you!
