"Jade Buddha's Apple"

 

My schedule is still a bit volatile at the moment, which makes it difficult to set up still life paintings with perishable subjects. At the moment apples are the only thing around that last for more than a couple of painting days. Here again is my little jade buddha figurine (difficult to depict as ever) with a "Southern Rose" apple.

Six Weeks, Second Job, "Plum Buddha" 8x10 - SOLD

 

Six weeks plus is far too long to go without posting... I've picked up a job after eight months of looking and that has bitten into my painting schedule a bit.

 

I purchased a 10-pack of 8x10 double oil primed Ray-Mar panels last month and I think I've fallen in love with these things... They even smell good. It's frustrating to finish a painting and have it not seem as good as the surface deserves. I've painted a bunch lately but there are only a couple of survivors that I'm not going to immediately recycle through the "Paint Over This" pile. I picked up this Buddha statue at Whole Foods, of all places, and right near it was a bin full of "Texas plums". The plums tasted awful, but they were good subjects.
