"Apples Galore"

This 9 x 12 colored pencil painting was done on white Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper.
I am really starting to like the results one gets with layering many coats of colored pencils and blending.

It took about a week and a half to get these final results.

I donated this painting to Our Live Auction at St Thomas Church in Bethel, CT on May 14, 2011. 

Enjoy and feel free to comment.
