First Apple Group

Now that I'm in my practice mode and working on apples, here's what the entire painting looks like. In this case, I use a 14 x 18 canvas pad sheet that is taped to a cheap mdf(?) board.

Since these are only studies and not for sale, it makes sense to paint small paintings that are to be thrown-away. However, after reviewing the overall composition, it does make for an interesting painting. I think that my next set of apples will be done on a canvas with the lighting going in different directions. May be an interesting painting.
