Next Coat -- Almost Done

I have finished the apples and just need to put the final coat on the table, reflections and background. I think I did a much better job on differing tones than on my last painting. I am pretty happy with this and can't wait to paint a new subject.

A Touch of Yellow and a Little More Shadow

Last night was pure bliss. I locked myself in my office and painted. It has been a long time. First I added a grey scale undercoat for the reflections of the apples and then I added the yellow to the apples. When that dries, I can work on painting the final red coat on the apples, inserting highlights and begin painting the table.

I am so jazzed about this painting!
