Fuji Apples are My Favorite

Another small painting. This one seemed to paint itself ~ I just love that. It's so odd - sometimes it takes forever to get a piece the way you want it; then, once in awhile, the brush and paint just take over. So nice when that happens.

Marin Open Studios will be coming up in May. Need to get working on some bigger pieces for that weekend. More info to follow. Hope my ol' students are painting. Remember it's not necessary to complete a 'real' paintings - just practice mixing colors, drawing and painting with your brushes - makes shapes and 'subjects' to get comfortable with materials.
