Had so much fun painting this! Got to pull out phthalo turquoise! Love those colors! Part of the biggest challenge of doing a still life is creating interesting compositions. Now all my tchotchkes ( definition: a small object that is decorative rather than strictly functional) have become much more interesting to me as possible subjects for a painting. I’m also loving incorporating strong lighting so I get good shadows.
Day 29! OMG! Only two more paintings to complete the challenges I agreed to. I’ll be interested to see if I miss it. I’m ready to get back to some larger paintings that take more time to develop – I think! We shall see!
All the best!!!
This gorgeous painting captivated me to find your blog and I am so happy I did. Your lovely paintings and your beautiful spirit shine through your paints and your words. I do hope your husband is feeling better and this year brings you both good health and lots of joy.
What lovely words! Thank you so much!!
