#228 Shadowside Apple
6"x 6" oil on masonite Sold
I've always thought an entire study of painting could be done just doing apples. There's something nice in the idea that everything you need to learn is right in front of you. It would be interesting to see a series of apple (like haystacks) that show your progression. My old ones feel like a million years ago to me. It's like I just don't see like that anymore. It feels nice, but on the downside I still get flops. Had 2 wipedowns this week and they still hurt, but that's just the way it goes. You sigh, wipe it and then you start another one. This is my favorite painting in awhile.

Yeh, it's a nice one Jeff, simple shape, simple subject but complex and sensitive treatment. I really like it.
I really love this. It's so shimmery!
Wow with the spots of color, magnificent!
I love your take on this one. Apples definitely do have a bit of everything for a painter and they always make a great subject. I love the way you captured all the colors from reds to greens in this one.
i like the way you broke every color note into its most simplistic form and put em back together to make an apple. thats cool.
Jeff, just saw your apple painting on Daily Painters, checked your blog and followed you progress from your first post. Wow! That's some kind of improvement. Keep at it...you are finding your style!
Dude, you are just having TOO MUCH fun. :)
What a cool color study (no pun intended)
This one is amazing. Absolutely wonderful!
Jeff, This is so cool... Love your work! I tagged you for the Passion for Painting award - see my blog for details...
The color and light in this painting is absolutely amazing. Great job
This is beautiful Jeff, it looks effortless. Well done!
This should be your favorite painting in awhile. It is great!! You really got it!
Wow! Thanks so much for the compliments guys! This one was really fun. Wish they all came off like that. Had 2 wipe offs after this one and abandoned painting for a few days. Ok, time to get back on the wagon eh? :)
Love your edges Jeff.
Nice painting!
Hey Jim - I just gave you the "Passion for Painting" award! Check out my 3/1 blogpost for rules, and participate as you wish! As usual, great work... I love coming here.
This is great!!
So when they ask you "how long did it take to paint that?" do you count the wipe downs too???
LOL
I love the light and the great looseness of it!!
The light, color and shape is absolutely fantastic,...gr8 Work..:) BTW I have started a new blog dedicated to my sketch work — Art on Sketchbook
Jeff, I love this one!!! I see you are not getting to paint so often. I am guilty of that too. I am trying to get back on track.
