Green Apple

Here is my most recent painting. Since I haven't painted for quite sometime I wanted to start out with a simple shape. I needed to get back into the whole feel of the oil paints with mixing and shading and what better way to do that then to paint an apple. This is 14in x 11in oils on canvas framed with a simple black frame.

This is my third painting in my café series. I bought some new more expensive brushes before I painted this and what a world of difference it makes.

I also wanted to update everyone on the Oil Heritage Art Show. I entered two paintings (Fountain Park and Delicious Apples) into this show. The artist reception was on Monday, July 21 and the painting Fountain Park won 2nd place in the intermediate category for oil painting, and Delicious Apples won 1st place in intermediate. I was shocked! I didn't expect to really win anything, but it was very rewarding to see those ribbons on my paintings.
