I'm back.........! I had to finish several paintings for two exhibits for this month, and it took me longer than I thought it would. This little painting was a good exercise to get me back on track.
A journal of painting from life, landscapes and of everyday things

It was nice taking a few days off for the holiday. I actually did get my studio organized... so everything is in order. I have two paintings to finish for an upcoming exhibit, so I probably won't post for a couple of days. This teapot drove me crazy! The Majolica pattern on the teapot was extremely difficult. I just wanted to give the impression of a leaf pattern.
I love this tiny teapot, but when I finished painting it, I realized the pot and tray sits too low in the picture plane, resulting in too much background showing. Oh well, you win some, and you lose some :)
