These are not glam super market peaches, but free peaches from a neighbor's tree. Problems are the same though, and they are, as my friend and painter Lorraine Shirkus says: the values are difficult to see because the dark coloring of the peaches can occur in the light and the light coloring in the shadow side. You have to hold that in your head and also keep the understanding of where the light is hitting and then I think, not care and see how it ends up.

Love this, Jean! Adding the green paper is just a great idea and I like the stem and leaves. Beautifully painted!
