Wow, this is beautiful, David! I'm impressed! This looks good enough to eat. :) I love gessoboard/masonite. Do you use the cradled kind or the flat?
Jen -- thanks so much -- glad you could drop by!
I've been using the 1/8 inch thick kind, which I like a lot. It's super solid, has a great feel, and clips to my paint box nicely :-)
Hi David. Your work is lovely. Soft, simple and appetizing!!! You are inspiring me to start painting again. I love Jen's blog. It's now one of my "favorites". Very funny. Hope your summer is going well. It looks like it's been very productive!

Hey, Lisa! Thanks for dropping by -- I'm glad you are enjoying these little works. Can't wait to see what you get up to!
Thanks for adding me to your links David. This Nectarine is my current favorite. I have many question that I'll trickle to you over time. The first being: How can you paint by porchlight in New England with the black flies and Midgees? (I've done some summers in Freedom NH and spent a winter in Boxford/Topsfield Mass.)
Steven -- my pleasure. I've really been enjoying the conversations over on your blogs, and the latest series at the Fourth Wall. . . . LOL -- our front porch is a little harry, to be sure -- I'm constantly bombarded with moths of every shape and size which bounce off my paint box . . . or land on the back of my neck (shutter). The back porch is much nicer. It has shuttered glass windows and screens to let the breeze in. I was serenaded by a cicada for about an hour the other night who'd landed on the screen to see what was going on.
SIL, I think you should now paint a grasshopper.
The nectarine is superb :>)
Love, MIL
Hello David, I just found your site and I must say that I like your work. But out of all of them this nectarine takes the number one spot. This little painting is a gem! Take care and happy painting!

Luis -- thanks for your comments -- it means much, coming from a fellow artist. I'm fond of the nectarine, too. It's amazing how these things work . . . it really didn't come together until the last minute of my session.
