"Chestnut Crab Apples"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
Crab apples are neat looking to me they seem to be a mini version of an apple. Their textures are not shiny and smooth as a regular apple, but do have to overall shape to them. What also attracted me to paint these guys where their stems, I found for the majority of them to have so much character. They have a gestural feel to them which to I really enjoy painting, although the stem is not the majority part of this painting it does have a secondary role to it. Textures to me are important in a painting they definitely make the object you'r painting come to life. To understand how to paint texture is extremely important in order to advance as a painter.
