This morning I did some more work on this painting. This is oil bar on a small canvas (8 x 10 inch) and the subject is an apple tree that I photographed earlier this fall. (My reference photo is posted on this site, October 18.) Today I began by going over the the darkest leaves with a deep green, and while I was at it, did a little work defining shapes of the rest of the leaves. While I was looking at my reference photo, I discovered a couple more apples lurking in the shadows, so I added them to the painting. I also noticed the suggestion of a branch, so I put that in as well. Then I mixed some blue into my darkest red and created deeper shadows on the apples. To be continued. . . .
