Apples And Orange

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the gracious hostess.

 I chose the still life because I felt this would be a good subject to continue with the thick, painting knife, technique I used last week.
First I used brush, then the paint shaper, then the painting knife.
I like the active looking surface this gives a painting. Plenty to look at.
I'm not really adept at this style of painting, but I think it would have great possibilities with practice.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

Matthew 9: 12      On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’^[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

This is my contribution to The Pare Down your Apple Challenge at DPW posted by Carol Marine .
Carol said: What is the smallest amount of information that still says "apple"? Your challenge is to paint an apple - any apple - in as few areas of color as possible, and still have it read as a 3-dimensional apple.

I called this painting "Apple Patch". It may be more accurately called 'color patches'. It was educational to record the color and value shifts as the form rounded away from the light source.
