I have been so busy working on location and also finishing up a  studio painting that I did not get a chance to get back to my third sketch.  Well I finally finished my apple sketch!  It was tricky working wet in wet as red is such a strong color!  It is really easy to get it smeared into areas you don’t want it! I did enjoy the process of completing this healthy looking apple.  Now I just have to choose one more apple to paint a sketch of and my foursome will be complete!

I also finished a studio painting using an earlier study I did.  The study for Upwards was posted under the title Back Out Again, Sept. 26/08.  I did manage to paint one of the chickadees that were out in abundance that evening.  It seems to fit without being contrived.  I will be posting this painting in my current work section of my site with its reflection when my husband takes a good digital of it.  Stay tuned!
