# 33 Antique Shop Door

This was done for WDE Sept 7 2012 hosted by Kay aka kreativeK

Shadows on the door... Format duplex board with 2 coats of gesso 21x19.7 A4 oils wet on wet about 2 hours

Reference photo of a closed antique shop... Loved the way the shadow of the tree fell on the different areas changing their color.  Have to tweak the area under the flowered pot... and maybe make Chester a bit darker!!!

# 32 Fall Aspens

This was done for WDE Sept 7 2012 hosted by Kay aka kreativeK

Fall Aspens in New Mexico  24x31 Format: cardboard [2layers] with 2 coats of gesso

WIP after  2ours  wasn't satisfied with the foliage so scraped and cleaned it off,
Still find wet on wet quite a challenge and have come to the conclusion that each painting may have different methods of how to start. was trying out a new method where I start with the most vulnerable areas to keep them clean... this method may be good for more simple subjects... not for foliage

After another hour. Still not happy with the foliage... May try a different method.

# 31 Tomatoes on a Shelf

This painting done for the WDE  Aug 17th 2012  hosted by Susan aka surob  along with #27 so it isn't quite 31 but I am not going to upset the numbering... 

Small wet on wet 24 x 18 on cotton cloth pasted on cutting board with gesso.

 I wasn't happy with the colors so I didn't post it time. Unfortunately I didn't scan/photograph the WIP. This is oils with added oil pastels... Tomatoes seem a bit roughed up...
