Apples and Pewter Pitcher


Here's the latest. Well...the latest that I'm remembering to post. I've done a number of watercolors in the meantime, but this is the latest oil.
The Spruill Center is having a big fundraiser March 6th. It'
s called "Three Coins in the Fountain" and it has an Italian theme.
I've been asked to have a 'booth' there where I would have some paintings on display as well as work on a piece during the event. I thought this might be the one I'd work on, but I think I'm pretty well done. I may tweak the keys and add a bit of 'aged-ness" to the pitcher.
This was done in that same 'Old Masters' technique w
ith the grey underpainting like the sunflower tutorial I did last year.
Hope you enjoy it.
