Also . . .

8"x 10"

I've had some appointments these last two days and am teaching tonight and a good part of tomorrow so I've had limited time in the studio this week.  I started this little one at the same time I started the blueberries and am hoping to finish both of them up by Friday.  We'll see.  I hope you enjoy these progress shots.  Thanks for coming by!

More Progress & Wild About Citrus!

"Cynthia's Oranges" (work in progress)
12" x 12"

"Sunlit Lemons" (work in progress)
8" x 8"

"Bowl of Limes" (work in progress)
9" x 12"

I'm finally getting around to painting from some reference photos that were so kindly sent to me from fellow blogger/artists (in fact I still have a couple more in the works -- so thank you and stay tuned!)  The oranges in the first image had such dramatic lighting I absolutely couldn't resist.  Thank you Cynthia Schelzig!  Cynthia makes cards, binds books, draws, paints -- you name it, she does it. I wish she lived closer so we could do art together and she could teach me how to make books. She is very talented and has a totally inspiring blog called Gallery 46 -- you should definitely check it out. 

"Sunlit Lemons" is from the Paint And Draw Together blog -- I have a few reference photos from past PADT posts that I'm hoping to get to soon, and "Bowl of Limes" is a photo I took a few years ago.  I'm loving this aquabord -- it can be challenging though . . . but I'm having fun.  And isn't that what this is all about!?  So stay tuned as I finish these up and get more going . . . I have so many paintings in my head (and on my computer) that there just isn't enough time!
