Shelling Beans - Sold

Shelling Beans, 6x6 oil

I'm back! Not that I went anywhere, I just haven't had much time to paint lately. One time-consuming yearly event is mainly to blame...taxes.  Gathering receipts and all that pertinent information that suddenly has become very important.  I'd rather be painting!!! Maybe that's why I chose to paint these fava beans, somehow they remind me of counting pennies.
