Okay – just because you asked…here’s how I did the apple.
I called it a Flemish technique, but really it’s quite heavily modified – first the traditional technique is in oils, and I’m using acrylics, and second, I’m impatient and undisciplined…if you want to know more about the real thing, take a look here.

I was trying something new. I did a modified Flemish technique with imprimatura, dead and color glazing layers. It’s a long process, but it really gives a lot of depth at the end. I’m not sure I’ll do it much, but it was really a great exercise.

Accordian Girl, originally uploaded by diahn.
Just finished!! This may be my favorite rendition of her so far. I took the photograph back in July at the Bele Chere art festival in Asheville, NC, and I’ve done a postcard in acrylic ink based on it – but this one was just too much fun.

Admit it – you were looking for a fish, weren’t you? HA! I did an ATC awhile back of the headstock of a Fender Jazz Bass, and really wanted to do something a little larger on canvas. This is another of those 6×12″ canvases I have stacked in my closet – [...]
