A quick sight-size study done in about two hours. I was able to balance the fruit on the edge of my easel...I move about a lot while painting, it was a challenge to keep a consistent view this close up.

Thanks Lette! I'm good, trying to get my head around a new platform...I dislike change, but needs must! Life does not appreciate the art no, wait til you see my daffodils that wilted on me while I was painting them! Twice. That'll learn me to take my time, life doesn't stay still that long!

When life gives you lemons...it might just want a painting of some lemons
