Apples

Painted this today as a demonstration at the Suter Cafe, as part of our annual plein air painter's exhibition opening.

Ok. I wasn't actually outside, but I was painting at a table by the window, and people could get a pretty good idea of what alla prima or direct painting is all about.

There must have been over forty people there at the peak. Not too bad for a Sunday afternoon, holiday weekend and all.

I think most people were surprised at how fast the painting came together. As I have so often said in the past, on such occasions: "How long to paint something like this? One hour, and twenty years. But the twenty years has to come first." Grin.
