Nectarine
5" x 8 1/2" Moleskine watercolor journal (half the page)
Blick Artists Watercolor
Unfortunately my scanner turned all the red-orange and pinkish-red hues to the same bright warm red, so it's flattened out a lot more than it looks in my journal. Also lightened and lost the lightest values on the shadow, which is annoying. Still, in person I like it a lot and it's a good study for later including it in some still lifes with more complex arrangements.
I also finally started an OPS member show entry, which I can't post. But I got a sketch done on a piece of good Colourfix paper and will try to get some more on it done today than just the sketch, it'll be a good one.

Blick Artist Watercolors in Moleskine watercolor journal, from one of my photos.
I also took a photo of the nectarine one so the transitions would be eaiser to see. Even if it's a little blurry, you can see some of the patterns in the fruit that intrigued me. I ate it though, done painting it now!

I can't remember. I'm not keen on parties other than at SF conventions, and it's been over a decade since I went to one of those so I can't remember which was the last one. Any that weren't in SF fandom just weren't fun.

I also succeeded in getting started on my Oil Pastel Society Member Show entry, the sketch is done and cropped, some oil pastel is on it and I like how it looked in thumbnail. I think it's one I can take some pride in once it's finished, though I can't show it online till after I've gotten it sent in for the show.
