Afternoon snack painting #100

 

     Well, made it to 100, and it seems as only yesterday I started.... ha ha 
     
     I've found that adding the number REALLY helps me keep track of my paintings.   My daughter helped me organize the way I put them in folders by the DATE.... that helps, too, when you're looking for a particular painting, and you don't want to spend all this time trying to find it ! ha ! 
     I suppose I never thought I'd have so many that I couldn't keep track, but somehow, they mount up !  Love the daily painting gig.... ha !

Day One Hundred-Seven

                                                        'Oranges on Orange'

8 x 8 oil on panel

50.00 + 6.00 s + h

     I haven't done oranges before, but watching other painters do them has made me interested.... I also like the way I have seen them cut into wedges... Anyway, I got these started last night, and this morning I started looking for darks and lights, and debated with myself as to whether or not to put the pattern on the plate. (it was solid white, with only the shadows added)  So I thought, "what the heck"  I'll add the pattern, because the plate was rather boring without it.  I did it, and was pleased with the effect.   Sometimes I seem to bite off more than I can chew... anybody else do that ?
