Day 5 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Apple

Yesterday I had asked what fruit should I paint on blogger as well as facebook. I got quite a few responses - fig, pomogranate, grapes etc. All of these fruits are on my list. In fact I have a pomogranate on the tree in my backyard, hope to paint that plein air! For today's painting, I picked an apple from our neighbor's tree and used that to set up for my painting. At first I thought that it will be too boring to paint, but I actually had lot of fun! Here it is..

Calla Trio

I am teaching one day workshop this Saturday to a group of friends. Painting a Vase with flowers was requested for this painting project. We wanted something simple and identified a photo from Wetcanvas Reference Library that seemed simple to do. So this is how the completed painting will look like:

Wild Strawberry Bloom - SOLD

In our backyard there was a very small plant of Strawberry and the gardner cleaned the rest. Between spring and now the whole empty patch is covered with this plant and it even has mini strawberries! Few plants still have such blooms and that inspired me to paint this on one of my mini canvas. This is #3 in the itty bitty series of paintings. It can be displayed on a mini canvas on a small easel or can be used as a christmas ornament!
Let me know how you like it.
