Round 3 on this one.
Is it normal to have to stand in a puddle of dog slobber the whole time you paint and trying not to slip because Sophie’s water bowl is right behind me and she has a drinking problem?

This thing stares at me in the face, everyday, taunting me. “Paint meeeee…” it whispers. “Paaaaaaaint meeeeeeeee….”
Too scared.
Way too scared….
..of a Kikoman x Hello Kitty shoyu bottle.

In a finishing off mood. Finally put the finishing touches to this brass pot and lemon (part of a Paul Foxton workshop). Again I only wanted to change a few things. #oilpainting #stilllife #oilstilllife #painting #paulfoxton

When I want to get back into painting after a while of unproductivity (like after the winter break), then it helps me to set up a simple still life to work through that inner voice telling me that I can't paint anymore.
"Uncomparable", oil, 6x8 inches.

An oil from this year of peonies from a local farm (Nicewicz Farm). I only do oils for 'fun' and don't do many of them but I try and do one peony painting a year. #oilpainting #floralart #oilpeonies #peonies #oilflowers #stillife #oilstilllife

Another still life today but an oil and much lower key and 'moodier'. I really liked that sharp, almost harsh contrast at the edge of the quince with everything else soft and indistinct.
