My First Oil Painting - Still Life with Apples

Still Life with Apples 8"x10" oil on canvas panel, Peter Buchan 2005 Collection of the artist Working across the street from Robert Wilson Galleries in Sarasota, I had the opportunity to spend my lunch hours gazing at the great works by today's contemporary painters. Seeing the beautiful works by Don Demers, Joseph McGurl, Tim Thompson and others, I was stirred to take on painting - even though I haven't practiced art in years, and had never painted before.
