"Surrounded" 10" x 10" oil on panel



Yesterday I was really in the mood to work with red. Actually, I just opened my refrigerator and pulled out the red apples. Then later in the afternoon I returned to the kitchen and found cherries ready for the grab. I've never painted cherries before. 


"Hail to the Chief" 10" x 10" oil on panel
Today I moved over a notch on the color wheel and found myself painting orange. That one I don't feel is in a presentable state. Some days things just don't work out as planned.

I feel like reaching out and grabbing one of those red apples. They look delicious. JB

I love that you share your work everyday. Your use of color, scale and composition is joyful for me to see everyday.

I meant to comment long before now...Your reds are just luscious! I love the composition in this painting and of course your signature brushwork.
