Odd Man Out, Pastel Painting

I painted yesterday at the gallery.  I was painting a still life of apples and a pear.  I intended it for the Challenge of 200 paintings.  This doesn't qualify for that, see my blog post here about that.  This still life was fun to do.  I love to paint apples.  I usually paint them when I have nothing in mind to paint.  I did not do an under painting, but did put on a sketch in color and wipe it off to get started.

The painting is unframed, fixed against glass so that you can pop it in a frame of your choice or show it on an easel.
