Trolly

4x6 oil on panel

Don't know how those good artist can get a good gooy brush marks in their mini panels.

orange sections

6x6 oil on masonite

I see that the set up is too mid value.

apples and jar

6x8 oil on canvas

 Jar not looking  jarish. Got lots of jar and lots of paint so I need to get cracken.

Apple and pot

6x8 oil on canvas panel

Really under the weather on this one. That's supposed to be  a flower pot on it's side.

Cable Crossing
9x12 oil on canvas panel

This is down the road for my folks home. If you drive around Mt. Desert Island you'll pass right by here, about a mile from Acadia workshop center.

Limes with Remekin

6x8 oil on canvas panel

I think the shadow side of the remekin still too light. 

Apple shadows

This one looks much better than the pepper. 

jolly red

4x6 oil on canvas panel

Still trying to get a handle on these pepper forms.

Framed yellow

6x4 oil on canvas panel framed

Working on the Pepper form. Thought that it might look better in a picture frame. hmmmmm don't see acceptance into the salon anytime soon.  :)

Mug and Pepper

4x6 oil on canvas panel

This was an after work try. These pepper forms give me trouble. I need a intellectual que to help me stay on track. I've seen others peppers and I should be able to do this.

Citrus on plate

oranges in ox blood red bowl

6x8 oil on canvas panel

Those dang tornado sirens makes it hard to concentrate. I've reworked this one since this photo cause it looks somewhat floating.  Wanted to get this on line incase I get blown to Kansas.

Red bowl of limes

6x8 oil on canvas panel

This bowl is an ox blood red and not easy for me to get a handle on.

Back lit Tangerine

6x8 oil on canvas panel

Seems this worked better than the last tangerine.

Tangerine & can

6x6 oil on masonite

Late night painting after work. Dead dog tired and the focus is showing.

Value Mug

6x8 oil on canvas

You can see the mug but that other this is a tangerine. 

Apple values

6x8 oil on canvas panel

This value study done after work. Anyone have any stories from the Green House Gallery event yet?

Limes on plate

Looks more like those candies, more than real limes.

Tangerine & Mug Shot

6x8 oil on canvas panel

Still didn't get the mug ellipse right. The tangerine is a bit hard edged and not showing hue changes with plane changes. By next year.

Almost juice

6x8 oil on canvas panel

I see where I messed up on the shadow side. This is a lemon

Above the stems

6x8 oil on canvas panel

Last for the pear. Went on the menu for lunch.  The fuji remains for todays lunch.

fuji

6x8 oil on canvas panel

The fuji is an odd shape. It's illuminated with a 40w bulb. I think that this is too low and causes a problem for me. 

Hanging in

6x8 oil on canvas

Trying to get the last bit of the eggplant. He's about as soggy as Sponge Bob.

Pamona on Can

I thought that this turned out better than most. The tall can is on the intersection of blue paper and orange  at the edge of light.

Bump'en

A few more fruit in a still life.

Two Stems & None

Feeling better about this one.

Pear & Can

Feeling like I'm on a better footing.

Supper & Can

Seems a little flat.  Frustrating, but I'll deepen the shadows more.
