Painting Challenge



I painted this in response to the painting challenge on Rookie Painter.   When I saw this challenge , I thought, oh boy apples!   I didn't really complete the vase as I ran out of time and I was trying to complete this in one afternoon.

 I didn't try to paint the old car that Carol Marine had posted for her Daily Paintworks challenge.   Somehow cars don't give me the same happy feeling that apples do.

8 inch X 8 inch oil on canvas panel.

  3. Great apples, Virginia! I think they are such fun to paint! I worked on the car today and after two wipe outs and a final result, I doubt I will post it. UGH! :-)
