Thank you to all the public....my fans!....for voting for me. 

I know I say the same thing all the time, but it always amazes me that, from all the entries, the public chooses mine as 'best of show'.
Thank you so much.

'Fruit Pickin' - Figurative Oil Painting by Amanda Russian

'Fruit Pickin'

Oil on stretched canvas

71 X 56cm

I'm pretty pleased how this work turned out.  When I first started I wasn't 'real keen' on it....not sure why....but I quiet like the shade and dappled light on the figures.  I think it might be a 'good one' for a competition....I'll have to see what's coming up.

Fruit Pickin' - Work in Progress

I've been a bit slack lately....sort of lost my 'mojo' with my painting.  Not sure why...Hubby is doing night shift at the moment...I guess that's 'mucked' up my days a little. 

Anyway...here's a few progress photos of what I'm working on at the moment.
