"Little Pink Apple"

Alright, I promise, I'm done with apples for a bit.

I wish this picture could show the hint of green in the bottom yellow. . .

When I get back I'm going to seriously work on my lighting/picture taking system.

Just about to hit the road for New Mexico.

My Husband rented the biggest truck they had. I think it's a bit of overkill. I could set up a studio back there and still have room for all the stuff we're taking this load.

I hope to try and paint something on the road. If not, I've got something in reserve.

I will post a picture a day. :)

I intend to conquer my apples.

I'm pretty satisfied with my yellow/green variety, now I'm after the Red Delicious.

I know I already painted a Red Delicious at the first of the month, but I'm still not satisfied with my dark reds. I think I'm going to have to go in for multiple washes/layers to get the clear, dark colors I'm wanting. I can only pull off so much by painting it Alla Prima (or all at once, to you non painters out there).

I bought three 'lunchbox' sized apples from HEB Central Market. They're little, tiny minature versions of the big apples I'm used to seeing. I guess they're for very little children.

I did the Grannie Smith variety yesterday, today's the Red Delicious, hopefully tomorrow I'll get the Gaia done before hit the road for New Mexico.

Get ready for a change of theme and scene!

I think I'm finally getting these apples!

Just like all the rest of my painting, the trick is to stop the moment I think I might be finished and STEP AWAY.

My worst problem is overworking something.

So, one more apple in pink, and I think I'll have this problem licked.
