Day 20

Day 20 of the 30/30 challenge

     I really should try to get my compositions a little simpler so I can finish this challenge, but for some reason, I am unable to do that. 

     This Hall pitcher is a vintage one, like from the 50s, maybe.  I used to share a booth at the Eureka antique mall with my sis, and I still have a few things from that era, plus, I developed a love for all things vintage like this, and have to buy them...... even if I have to rationalize a bit better now.

     I loved the shape of this pitcher, plus the color.  The glass is an old one that my grand daughters love to drink their water out of.....

Vintage chalk horse Painting #54

  


 I found this horse sculpture at a cute antique shop in Alabama, while on vacation with my family.   My sister and her hubby go with us, and the guys love to play new golf courses, while sis and I NEVER are at a loss at keeping ourselves occupied !!! (Two retired art teachers..... that pretty much means 'trouble' ) ha

Day One Hundred-Nineteen

                                                'Shawnee elephant pitcher'

6 x 6 oil on panel
40.00 + 6.00 s + h

     Oh my, Sandy.... could you have made this a bit harder ?.... I KNEW it was going to be challenging to get this little guy represented, because he's a bit unusual in shape, etc... but REALLY... did you have to put him at this angle?, and did you have to do him on a 6 x 6, where you barely had enough room to nagivate ?-- Oh, well, live and learn...   Next time, do yourself a favor, and 'simplify' a bit ! ha !
     Hope he comes across, because I have to quit on him... I've spent forever on that face ! ha!
