This one came a little easier.  the colors for the apple in the bowl fell into place.  I may try this one again trying to flatten out the shapes.  Always trying to loosen up.

Boy is it difficult to stay with it in the summer.  Just recently  I up dated my blog with a few changes. I added a header and changed a few colors. I also added a page for the figure drawings that I do at a local gallery, and one for the digital drawings I do with ArtRage, and lastly a page for art questions about my methods and madness.

It's been a while since I posted.  I've been busy painting but not posting.  I was lucky enough to go to a workshop presented by RAM (Regional Art Museum) in Fort Smith Ark. The Artist was Mark Daniel Nelson from the Denver area - it was spectacular. He presented the information each day in short segments with a demo and plenty of time to practice the concepts.  Plus lots of info on using Procreate with an ipad pro.   Great...Great workshop.  RAM was a SUPER Host. best workshop of the five I have attended.

I enjoyed the way this stumpy apple sat. In fact it sat so well I thought I would lean the same way and use it for several sittings.
