Apples and Pear

Oil on canvas

I tried this set up as a pastel and then did it in oil.

First Pastel

 

9X12

I tried a simple pastel painting. The thought of not having to clean up was appealing.
There are some good tutorials on YouTube that helped.

Metal Cup

Oil on canvas
8X18

Some health issues  kept me away from painting for a while. Things are better now and I chose this cup as my first return subject. I've used it in many paintings and sketches and it still appeals to me.
It's great to be painting again.
