Apple with Wine 2

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

Several years ago (70's) I painted a large, old jade that had some character. I decided to paint a small one now and every once in a while repaint it to record it's growth. I am hoping that this pathetic thing will develop some character with age.

Green Vase

I toned the ground on this one and used Dorland's Wax Meduim I think I will work with the apple for a while.

Can't Get Me 2

I thought I would try the composition on a canvas panel with a change to the shadow shape
