As much as I love the compositions where I line everything up in a row, every once in a while I like to do something different. I've wanted to paint a bucket of apples for a long time. Actually I was looking for an old wood bucket but I had a really hard time finding one. If I do find one at some point I will do this again!
It's a 12 x 16 Oil on Panel and it's up for auction!
Here is a shot of what it will look like framed, the same frame comes in charcoal grey but I don't have a pic of it.
This was how it looked when I thought it was finished, The bucket was a bit too rusted out looking so I went back in and changed it to what it looks like now. I think the colors work much better.
And of course a shot of the drawing stage...
