Four in a row

Four in a row, oil on canvas, 9x12

I gathered up apples, avocados, lemons, limes and other still life items and took about 20 pictures outside today.  The sun was directly overhead, which did not make for interesting shadows.  I just tried to work with placement instead. This is the first painting from these setups. The apples were various shades of yellow rather than reds; no shadows, no color range made for a difficult painting day. Tried to work through these frustrations and I feel, in the end, that the painting works.
