Don’t ask how I came up with this title. Anyway, it was a fun exercise. I wish I’d done more of these when I was younger. Does that make any sense?

The idea for this came to me as I was going to sleep last night. I guess that’s what painting everyday without stopping will do to you.

After yesterday, I really wanted to try a pear again. Chased by an apple.

I ran out of time and energy today, so it was back to basics. It’s really interesting to compare this to ones I did in previous challenges.

I had some dental work today so by the time I got home I wanted to try to complete today’s painting without pressure and chose an exercise I’d done years ago. It was with some satisfaction that I can look back and see a big improvement since then.
Metal Creamer, Tomatoes

I’m kinda digging the grapes so I bought some new ones because they were shriveling up. I also liked painting the square little vase and decided to try to fit the whole thing in this time so I enlarged my work surface. Also changed the background to a lighter color.
