So that's how the Apple a Day project came to be. After completing all 31 apple paintings, I assembled them to resemble the month of January 2011 and dated each canvas with the corresponding dates I painted them on.
42"x48", acylic on canvas.
And here are some of my favourite apples:

Those are really nice! They probably provide good practice with handling the medium, trying out glazing and painting with different consistencies. I particularly like #23. The shadow shapes are striking. How many colors did you use?
i very much like #1,2 and 5 ghost like.
Bravo! This is the way to tackle a new medium. I admire your ambition. And it's a great idea. It's hard to choose for me, since so many are so good in different ways. I just know one thing, no doctor could have been anywhere near you during that month even if you were sick. (you know, an apple a day..)
Very very cool!
GREAT Wil love seeing one subject painted in lots of different ways, looks like you're feeling more comfortable with acrylic
Nigthengale-- thanks. #23 is growing on me and I have to say it's becoming one of my favourites as well. As for the colours, I primarily used 2: cadium red and pthalo blue. I think I used a bit of pthalo green for the shadows.
Danielle: thanks for dropping by.
Dan: haha. I was pretty healthy by the end of this project.
Z: boo.
debra-- it still is a challenge for me to see the colours of each apple properly. The project continues with a smaller version I'm working on now.
