Humble Offering

apple @ night
I can't go to bed until I draw something," I tell myself. Just a mixture of colored pencil and pastel. The light coming from a lamp on my right, so the shadow falls the other way. Later, I saw a painting of Cezanne apples that so shamed me, I got serious and added a green background, (after also outlining the apple in dark green.) That was a choice I'd never have made but for the Cezanne to guide me. I need to start copying the masters, or I'll be stuck in my bad habits and never learn a thing.
