This weeks challenge was to paint an apple trying to capture the changing values which create form.

This is a close up of the painting that I did yesterday. I liked the graphic nature of this little 6X6 inch painting.

I felt like painting smaller today...this little painting is 5X7 inches on a canvas panel. I am using my white very judiciously and concentrating on mixing colors and creating more color harmony. This was a good exercize in composition as well.

This is my 90 minute challenge. I wanted to keep this painting as fresh as I could by laying each stroke down carefully and trying to not go over an area more than necessary. I was very happy with the results. My other goal was to work with pure color and use very little white. 16X20 canvas panel oil

This week's challenge at DPW was to paint a piece of crumpled paper...Oh my...what a challenge indeed. I broke the paper into major planes and using a value range of dark, medium, and light I then included planes in each of the major planes. Capturing the glow of the light shining through the paper was quite difficult. This is an excellent challenge and I thouroughly enjoyed it.

This is the second in a series of paintings taken from the photographs that I shot while in Cincinatti at the atrium. 20X20 inches OIl Stretched Canvas
