Day One Hundred-Ninety Nine

'3 Cookies'

I just couldn't think of a title for the life of me ! I realized after it was too late that I'd placed this vase smack dab in the middle of the composition. I never like to do that, and I'm usually more conscious of it, but I'm a bit 'off' since I've been out of town for almost a week. It takes a while to get back into the swing of the painting routine. I'd better get busy ! No more lolly-gaggin!

Day One Hundred-Twenty One

6 x 6 oil on panel

     I started this last night, very late...  Just sketched in the shapes, and added the flat color... It was getting dark, and hard to see my exact tints and shades.  This morning the woman who is buying my table from Craiglist is coming in an hour, and I HAD to finish before I moved everything.  (We just purchased a new diningroom set, because we have a growing family and needed a bigger place to eat)  This table got moved into the toy room temporarily.  Anyway...  I think the highlights came out pretty good, and I was surprised at how much reflected light I saw when I really studied it...    I just loved this little container I found at the Container Store !  They had lots of different colors, too.!
