Finished

 

 
Bearing Good Fruit
Original Oil painting by Linda Besse 
32" X 21"
 
 
This piece has certainly been one to "stretch my brushes." There were so many elements which were challenging because they were new to me and the whole concept of having a sepia background was a departure from what one might "usually" choose.
 
One of the joys of painting is learning new things, even after more than two decades of professionally painting. It can also be frustrating. Fortunately, after years of trying new things I've learned to embrace the challenges. Of course that doesn't mean I don't toss and turn in bed trying to figure out tomorrow's next painting step.
 
Thank you all for following my blog and the in-progress steps to finish this painting. The posts for this piece began on January 1, 2026 and I have had more views on this painting than any other I have posted.
 
May we all embrace the "new" in this New Year, expand our horizons, and bear good fruit to the world.
