January Happenings




 Une Demi Douzaine    oil   16" x 20"

At first these little cherries appeared as apples! They became way oversized as I was trying to loose the edges…couldn't get it quite right as the mass grew and grew….I must have had my nose to the canvas because as I stepped back I shrieked! How did that happen??? Had to scrape it all down and redo it…but got into a zone when I started to pick up the palette knife and try to loose those edges but still keep the form and light….Its so important to step back from your canvas to keep things in perspective.
Am happy to say this painting sold while still wet!

Just a fast sketch, I figured I would rework it in my studio but as I look at it I think I like it as is….
some are meant to remain just studies.
