Best Buddies

This has been a busy month, with not enough time for painting. Finally this weekend I had some time and was able to get back to the easel. I started with familiar territory, apples. I did three small paintings yesterday. This was the best. It feels so good to paint again. It seems like I'm starting all over. I have a few ideas for a new series, but first wanted to warm up with something comfortable, an old friend, apples.

In the Dark

Back on familiar ground. Apples are really comfortable to paint. As Carol Marine said in her blog, apples are her fall back subject. I can see her point. This painting was done at night, in the semi darkness. I'd like to try more of this. I sort of like the mysterious aspect. It's great to get back to posting. We've been in San Diego for the past few days and I've missed being home with the easel, paints, and our fabulous cat, Hercules! There's no place like home!
