Blackberry love

So I started with a lovely little drawing and everything was swimming along nicely. The radish was foreshortened well and everything looked pretty solid. But when I began to paint, I started losing control. I hate that! I tried to put on the brakes but things were getting mucked up. The radish was giving me the most trouble. Damn thing. And I think I should have slanted it the other way for a stronger composition. Thoughts? In the end, I can say...I truly love the blackberries!

Odd man out

Today I had fun - it all came together the way I was hoping. Why oh why can't that happen all the time : ) ? I did switch up my brushes - I jumped to my new size 18 flat even though the canvas is only a 6"x6". But it worked. I prefer painting with large brushes but I didn't think I would have the control I needed with a large brush on a smallish canvas. I'll have to keep experimenting. Anyway, yay!
