two crabby

This is the other one.

two tiny apples

This is the last of the crab apples, I had to throw them out!

pair of crab apples

These tiny apples were so cute I did several studies

yellow apples

This one looked so good I cut it up after I finished painting and the side toward to lamp was so hot, it was spoiled. I ate it anyway. So these are truly one of a kind, because each one is eaten after the painting session.

Prune plum

I like this color combination.

Pear study

I decided to simplify the shape because I was getting very angular. I also wanted to set up a background color that worked well with all that yellow. I think I am satisfied with this one.

My actual pear is turning brown and has spots all over it. I think it is too far gone to eat. The perils of fruit painting.

Green apple

I really like this one. I wasn't sure I could paint a large object on such a small canvas.

Strawberry

Another quick study. These are so fun I think I'll do more.

Single Strawberry

Sometimes I struggle with a new object and practice on these little vignettes. I do them quickly and usually like them better that the ones I labor over.
