When all else fails...






Oil on canvas

In the computer world we quip "When all else fails, read the manual"
I've been in a painting funk for about a month, so I heeded that advice and browsed through my dog-eared copy of David Leffel's Painting Secrets of a Master and found this exercise.

The idea is to paint two identical shapes and by using values and colors, distinguish between a cherry and a grape.

It got me painting again, and now I'm ready for something more complex.
