More Cherry Cobbler, More Brushes!

A good friend had a birthday last weekend, and a couple of us got together for a long planned celebration around lunchtime today. Afterwards— since I was already away from the house— i took the opportunity to head on over to the local art supply store and peruse the brushes. I'd looked online to see what else might be useful, and the idea of a "grainer" appealed to me. It would make painting wood grain easier; I could load on the paint and drag parallel lines, then add detail with smaller brushes. Here's what I came away with:

Then I added a few more details to the cherry cobbler painting. It wasn't the most productive day, but at least something got done.
