Summer

Good morning all.
I chose to paint a bright and cheery painting to remind us of sunny days.

I painted this one in 15 minute segments too, which I've posted underneath the finished painting. I hope you enjoy seeing them.
If you add up all the time stages, you'll see this simple painting was completed in an hour and a half. The 15 minutes a day can add up to something nice, as I hope you'll agree :) 

The painting :  Summer
11x8, Saunders Waterford 140lb rough

The stages:

    Thanks Pat...we need to be looking forward to summer...lots of snow down here at the moment! Hope it won't last long though. Really love this painting, such a good idea working in 15 minute segments. The lights on the fruit really make this pop!

    Thanks Pat for showing us your progress. Love the colour choices. Warms and cools work so well together and I love the looseness too. Beautiful.
