Originally the second apple was meant to be painted in its entirety, but when your class is held during dinnertime one tends to get hungry. It turned out to be an interesting challenge to paint the apple core.
This is the first attempt I ever had creating a still life using watercolor. I did not have much previous experiance using this media until I took an extra credit class. Turns out I really enjoy it!
I grew up riding either western or bareback. I never took lessons from a riding insructer, therefor, never learning the English style of riding. My mom put me on a horse at about age seven and taught me how to ride.
