Did some work on the background and a little work on the pear. Need to apply a purplish glaze over the grapes, followed by grape highlights, spend a couple of sessions on the apple, pear, and glass, finish up the linen in the background and foreground in one or two sessions, and add any finishing touches. It won’t be long. Creating what is called a “lost edge” is a difficult thing to pull off. The left edge of the apple and pear are very sharp and look a little unnatural. It’s a difficult thing to barely soften edges so objects don’t look like they’ve been cut out and pasted onto the painting. I think I’ll be able to improve the edges.
