My "An
Apple a Day sort of....." series has morphed into what should probably be
called a "6 x 6 series of various and sundry items......" I should
probably add my pears to this series as well...lol...
I've moved on
to a teacup, specifically a Fiestaware teacup. I have a few of these in
different colors, my mind is coming up with some interesting still life
options......
This one almost
killed me..... the ellipse fought me tooth and nail, but before I could
actually get it right, the entire thing got smooshed, and I mean smooshed, by a
canvas bag sliding on it and very neatly blending all the colors together.....
it had these somewhat cool and very perfect lines going across the painting,
hundreds of them..... honestly, I almost trashed the whole thing. However, that
ellipse kept calling me to be fixed, which prompted me to forge on and not give
up.
My first
painting as a Signature Member of PSA
Painted from
life, this subject never rots or dies..... sits still for as long as you want,
can take the heat lamp (lol.....), never needs a break. I highly recommend it!!!
