Day 28 - Royal Reds

Day 28 of the 30/30 challenge

     Something different today.  I was inspired by a subject my friend, Dawn, set up to paint a couple of years ago,.  She did some small fish, and I loved the way they turned out, always meaning to go over to Olive St. and visit a seafood store and get some.   This was in my freezer, so it saved me a trip.

     These shrimp are very large, and taste like lobster.  We (my sister and I ) discovered these at a restaurant in Biloxi Mississippi a few years back.  

     They are sometimes available at Schnucks, and come from the coast of Argentina...

Day 3 of the 30/30 challenge

Back to the basics..

Sometimes it seems I make my subject too complicated to work in a 6 x 6 format, and get myself frustrated.  Here I'm trying to keep it simple.  Back to the basics of apple.... hahaha

Day 2 of the 30/30 challenge. 

     

Funny, how you have to get your "sea legs" again, after not doing this for awhile... ha ha 

     Actually, I paint all the time, but have lately been doing plein air landscapes with my painting friends, or working from my photos in my studio, because it's COLD outside... anyhoo, here's todays still life, from life, as usual.
