Sauce still life
First sauce experiment... this stuff is lush.
Of course we shouldn't focus on portraiture 100% of the time, and I think the popularity of this thread shows that the artists here have all sorts of muses.
But I remain grateful that this site's focus is portraiture.

Apples on Silk - Portrait of Apples!
Ok, so maybe not a traditional portrait, but hey, thanks for looking anyway!
The pic blows out the cut apple a bit and darkens the details in the shadow areas.
11x15 inches oil on panel

Michael, my eight-year-old daughter just saw your painting and said, "I can feel the silk, I can smell the apples and I can taste them, too!"

Michael, the fabric is wonderful, the rest is too! You can certainly see you are an accomplished student of Bill Whitakers!
Congrats!

Nice job Michael, what was your color palette for the apples?

Michele:
Tell your daughter, she made my whole day! 
Beth:
Without doubt, my time with Bill was a life changing experience. I am so grateful that he took the time with me. I never lifted a brush in his presence, but watching him work and just being around him made so many things click in my head.
Mike:
The apples were done with cad red light, yellow ochre, raw umber, sap green, and white. I mixed a red row of values and painted the each apple and then added the ochre, umber, green and white wet into wet. I actually painted the apples in one pass which for me was a miracle!

My landscape paintings
Since this is the only "off subject" thread legitimately in this Portrait Forum, I thought I'd post my brand new, all landscape website at: http://www.Oilpnt.com/
Since Cynthia was so busy at the time, I asked Craig Butterworth to design this landscape web site for me and I think that he did a really nice job of it. I welcome feedback on this. Thanks.
