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.....

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!

Day One Hundred-Two

                                     'Cream of the Crop'

6 x 8 oil on panel

40.00 + 6.00 s + h

     I love these colors together.  The little cream pitcher was an antique find while on vacation in Alabama.  It just seems I can't pass up a cute cream pitcher... go figure... I guess it's the shape, and the asymmetrical aspect of it that gets to me.  Well, this one had the color going for it too !  And I don't even drink cream in my coffee !
