Four - Not Three
6x8in oil on canvas board 100.
The title comes from the "rule" in painting that you should have an odd number of things in your set-up. One, three, five etc. Well, this started off as three but using the boat shaped bowl made the design move in a definite direction and I realized when I was near completion that it did not please me. I put a piece of glass in front of the painting and painted another apple in several places until I reached this position. Maybe having some of the apple going out of the picture allows it to be not quite the unwanted even number of four. Maybe a title change to
Three and Half - Not Three?
