Whispering Lemons - #62111

6 x 6 inches Oil on Birch Ply

Again, this was from Colin Page 20 minute exercise, his was first 20 minute lay in of lemons that I felt needed more contrast with background, and right lemon didn't get finished. Brevity of brushstrokes, stepping away from canvas between strokes, taking a long breath... Making every mark count and as accurate to color value as possible. Adjust as you go.

Apple Still life - #61411

8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas - final

first posted version, apple on left too highlighted

These two views of same apple front lit, and back lit from natural light were done in a Colin Page workshop this past weekend. What a wonderful instructor and terrific two days in Damiscotta Maine.

I'll be posting some more from this workshop although I'm sharing a phone line with 5 women and it's dial up so it's a challenge unless I do it at 4am~!

Here was the start

The Arizona Plein Air Painters had a paint out today at the Farmers Market in Mesa and a few of us set up at the intersection of Main & McDonald. It was busy all morning until the end at 2pm. What fun to see the families, couples, and friends shopping together for lovely fresh produce.
