"Fruit Basket Turnover"

Isn't "fruit basket turnover" a childhood game, it rings a bell with me from the past! Wanted to try one more still life after my workshop, but will now start thinking "plein air" since a local group has asked me to join them this weekend for one of the first outings this year. It will also be a first for me, so will have to downsize my gear from "u-haul" size to something I can carry!

  2. Never heard of the game but I sure love the painting, Ann! I am reminded of Sleeping Beauty and the evil queen's poisoned apples. Your comment on paring down your plein aire supply kit made me laugh. I always pack too much stuff too!

  3. Excellent contrast of textures, beautiful painting!

    Looking forward to seeing you this weekend. It's been so long since I've painted outside, I'm afraid I won't remember how!
