Busy Painting Day

Painted for The Citrus Challenge on DPW

Painted for The Stroke Challenge on DPW

I guess you can guess that I love a challenge.  I also love a bargain, but that's another story.  These are 6x6" oil on panel.  I really enjoyed painting them, especially copying Carol's stacked cups.  Today I'm going to paint another painting with oranges, some will be slices.  I'm trying to get that translucent look of the pulp of the orange, we'll see.

Spooky Tree for DPW Challenge

Scary Tree, DPW Challenge, $25, 5x7"

In the spirit of Halloween, I've painted this to support the Spooky Tree Challenge on DPW.
I was looking at my photos to find one I wanted to do for a long time of two trees intertwined with vines, but found this one and it looked scary so I did this one instead.
