Spiced Tea

I read an interesting article yesterday sent to my inbox - the Robert Genn newsletter.  Basically the article talked about the art of fishing and how it parallels to painting-it takes a long time to really understand what it is all about and to acquire the necessary skills.  It requires patience and more patience...a constant trying and working to really understand the craft...got my Munsell book today.  Looking forward to sharing more of those insights with you....

Applecations

22x13 watercolor demo painted Saturday for my workshop. To create this design, I used a fresh apple and drew it 3 different ways, then drew a rectangle behind. Filling in with darker colored values surrounding the fruit, I then did negative shapes with my brush for leaves, twigs, and apples throughout the composition. In wet areas I sanded colored pencil for textural effects.
Title is pronounced "applications".

Original painting: $300

"Sequestered" original still life by Gwen Bell

10 X 10 oil on canvas

I've painted this same tea towel time and again. However,
this is the first time I've painted it larger than 6 x 6 and I
loved being able to include more of the pattern. Once I
saw how it looked reflected in the shiny mixing bowl I
knew I had to go ahead and paint it once more.
