Yummy red apple!

Earlier this summer, my youngest daughter Kate and I decided to paint an oil painting together. We got this one started during an afternoon.

The whole process began by first selecting the subject. A very yummy red apple! Then we continued by photographing the most delicious looking apple we found at different locations, on different surfaces, and with light coming from different angles. Once we chose the photo we wanted to paint, we got started and had a great time together putting on the first few brush strokes to cover the canvas.

The original idea of doing this painting together was good. However, I soon realized that my daughter was not so keen on further continuing with the painting. 

Months went by and the unfinished painting waited and waited for someone to complete it. Recently, I decided to finish it. And I must say, although it would have been a lot more fun to have completed it with Kate, this little painting has been one of the most fun projects I have worked on.
