Dear Subscribers,
 
Greetings!
 
New still life this week. It felt good to be back to still life.
 
First stage:

Blocking it in.
 
Next stage:

Going for the apple first.
 
Next stage:

Getting my most intense color right away. Having fun, staying loose, remembering why I enjoy still-life. This beginning stage is my favorite part. Lots of rapid progress.
 

Working more on the vase.
Should really start that background....
 
Next stage:

Almost done, gotta finish the vase and apple.
 
And the finished painting, "Red Cloth Blue Cloth" (12x9):
