I have been looking for a while at David Leffel's paintings, and have also read his book " Oil Painting Secrets from a Master".
I wanted to apply some of his teachings in "Red Begonia with Lemon". Now, I'm not sure how much of his teachings I was able to apply in this painting, but I am sure that I was able to capture something of the lighting and atmosphere that Leffel emphasizes in his book.
