I don’t think I’ve drawn/painted a still life since high school. The one on the left was done holding the tip of the brush–so with less control–and the one on the right was done holding close to the brush end–more control.
I’m not sure which I like better. Except for the lemons, I undoubtedly like the relaxed lemons better.

If you have a tack shop, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a house, a tack room, a spare wall anywhere, I’ve got cool stuff for you to buy.
Some of my favorite shots are now up in my Redbubble shop, paying tribute to foxhunting and the fine sport of eventing.
Made a color wheel with watercolors for the first time ever.
