One last apple painting. This time I did my own set-up and tried to paint it pretty closely to Cezanne's style. Sort of! His brush strokes are more blended than I usually leave my pastel marks.
6" x 8" on Pastelmat.

Another attempt to take Cezanne's color/strokes in one of his landscapes, and paint from my own photo. 8" x 6" on Pastelmat. Did this in the open studio of Tucson Pastel Society. Not very successful study, imo.

#pswc10in10 4th in my study of Cezanne apples. For this I slightly distorted the bowl to get a more overhead view. His theorizing was , simplistically,that humans are aware of all angles and perspectives at once.

Here's another little piece. I just did as part of the #PSWC10In10 challenge. We are challenged to paint and post 10 high key paintings in 10 days. I am using little scraps of paper to do it and having fun playing around with a high key pallete. Show me your high key paintings!

What the heck, joining the #BlueSkyArtShow
#light #PSWC10in10 this is the February challenge to do 10 paintings in 10 days with the theme of high key. Come on over to the Pastel Society of the West Coast and join the fun. This piece was inspired by a recent trip to New Mexico. #pastel #bandelier
