With number 48, and the fear of being back in color, out of the way I was able to really start moving. Number 49 picks up with our friends the apples. I had struggled before when there were a number of different apples in the composition but this one felt better. Same deal as 48 here too. Set it up live, took about an hour with no wailing or gnashing or teeth.
These are also the first few with the 6″ x 6″ canvas boards. I had seen a lot of painters using these and wanted to give them a shot. I like the 8″ x 8″ size but these are even easier to deal with. It’s not too small but still has a limited area so finished them is relatively easy.
