What a Crock!


Crockery

These 3 compositions have been on my to do list for a while and I kept skipping over them. I put my foot down and got to it. This one I started a week or more ago but finished off today.I kept it looser so I could play up the reflections and highlights.

I detailed the strawberries in this one because they are the main feature and also in the foreground. The jam label was also fun playing with the relief of the letters instead of just writing it out.

I wanted to keep this one simple because of the overhead dramatic lighting. The cream jug is the main star in this composition and the strawberries are the back up singers.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
