Looking Into The Future

$50., 6" X 6", Still Life, Oil on Canvas Panel,  ( Click to Buy )

I thought that the jelly jar would be a good second object in this composition.  When I finished I realized that it was a little creepy.  Maybe it's the title that's creepy.  Sorry I couldn't resist being a little creepy I've been in the studio a little too long.

Apple with Wine 2

$50., 6" X 6", Still Life, Oil on Canvas Panel,  (Click to Buy)

I was on a roll so I did another one of the same still life.  Notice I didn't have any of the wine.
Maybe if I had it would have been a bit too loose.  I do like the shadow of the apple better in this one.

It's been a while.  I have been painting just not posting.  I thought I would try something different than oranges.  I guess it is hard to break old habits.  The real goal of this painting was to work on the white bowl
