Turnips!



I feel so accomplished - the apple store geniuses had me convinced that I could not upload photos from my iPad to my blog, but I found a back door, so to speak.

Finally, painting again. Finished this about 5 weeks ago, and really enjoyed using brushes instead of my palette knife. This was done on a gessoed smooth finish board, with 2 layers of transparent "washes" to build up the turnips and cloth and shadows, then a finishing layer of thicker, more opaque paint on the turnips and for details and whites. It is 9 x 12 inches.
