Fruit for Artist's Playroom

I didn't have time for fruit this week

as I am running out of time to

do a painting for an art show

that I am entering.

I have to have this painting finished by next friday.

That may seem easy but out of all

next week, I have 2 1/2 days to paint.

So I have to cheat again for the Artist's Playroom.

I had to dig deep into my pile of pics to find this one.

This was one of my first ever oil paintings and is

on a scrap of canvas.

You can see the two white corners where I stuck the

drawing pins in to keep it up.

It's rather boring but at least

there are some pears and cherries in there.

I did do a journal pic not long ago

of cherries, in watercolour.

But, I'm afraid my mind is on fish at the moment.

I am doing a piece called Full Moon, 

inspired by the light and dark fish I showed last week.

It is still very much in the early stages.

I roughed in the background today,

still have the fish to do and then 

blend the brain coral a little better.

Will really be under the pump to get it finished.

Does anyone fancy babysitting 

two kids and a husband for a week???

I have to warn you though,

my twenty year old daughter isn't well

(tummy ache),

so it's like babysitting 10 little kids!!

It's back to the paint brush for me,

so why no go over to

the Artist's Playroom

and see what everyone else has done.
