day fifty-seven

two hours later with a very full bladder, i find myself finished with this painting. i have also found that painting from life makes me waaaay perfectionistic. i began the sketching for today's painting around 11:40 and told myself that i would spend no more than an hour painting tonight. however, i was focused and not paying attention to time... just highlights and shadows and shades of red. i became entranced more than ever in my work.  alas, the hour has come to brush my teeth and jump into bed.

apples again!
ps. i love that the part i spent the least amount of time on (the table cloth) turned out the best!
