December was a bit of a slow month for me, so I was able to be fairly prolific when it came to painting. Because I don’t have a dedicated space and have to lug everything out, the setting up process of painting often prevents me from putting paint to paper. So, as long as I was painting the Easter scene for the Glenmary Easter Appeal, I had time to do other paintings as well!
Again, I painted these apricots based on a photo I found on Flickr. I am drawn to painting fruit, and I liked the composition and the reflectiveness of the bowl. In the painting, I really like my thumbnail sketch that I did to determine the values of the painting.
