6 x 6 oil on canvas panelthis is a little painting i started a few days ago but really haven't finished but wanted to post it in progress. i did this earlier this week to get my painting muscles going again - yesterday i went to my friend cindy's house for a paint out - she's sort of a beginner and so we did the same painting side by side. rather than a photograph i chose a painting with particularly strong values and unfortunately i chose a piece painted by a contemporary artist....and so i can't show it. next time i think i'll chose an old master and we'll work on that together. she really did great! i know when i started so many years ago it really helped me to be able to watch someone - a picture's worth a thousand words, i guess!
the painting above is of a bowl of rainier cherries she brought out for us to nibble on while we worked -= deeeelish!!!! while i was waiting for her to catch up to whatever stage we were working on, i thought i'd jot a few strokes down to try and capture those cherries. of course the sun changed while we were out there and that can be confusing!
