Goose-neck Study
7x5in oil on linen $100.
Day 10 in the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
My personal goal for this challenge - to paint only what I have
never painted or thought of painting before.
I am staying with a friend who owns this goose-neck lamp.
I have been using it to light my still life set-ups, but tonight I
thought why not paint it. It fits the criteria - I certainly have
never painted it before and I love the reflective surface.
I have computer problems - again. This time the wireless
is not working. Started this afternoon. Hope tomorrow is better.
Thanks for all the neat comments. You are all great!
Love this lamp; gorgeous coppery type of color. The hot sauce is done beautifully as well, Julie.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely painting, again!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great shape isn't it? I have drawn mine before too so I see why you might paint it:)
ReplyDeleteNice work, Julie. There is certainly nothing wrong with your brain! Hope you get the computer issues straightened out.

Love this one Julie!
ReplyDeleteI love the "sepia" look to this painting and the amazing light!!
ReplyDeleteNow this was far reaching--and very well done. Made me smile. You are having fun with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique subject and done so well! it caught my eye right away.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful in it's simplicity! It is amazing what you did with a very limited palette.
ReplyDeleteI love this Julie! It really glistens!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAnother successful painting - you manage to make the mundane items we all have look extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteA goose-necked lamp, I never knew that was their name - live & learn!
ReplyDeleteIt really is an excellent painting, you've made so much from very little ...totally impressed, Julie!
That put a smile on my face, thought of Pixar for a moment. Great metallic feel, like glowing copper, well done.
ReplyDeleteThose few dabs of almost pure white.....just lovely. They set off the glow......oh so warm. You are having a great time painting, aren't you Julie!
ReplyDeleteWonder-Julie! A(n almost) monochrome, which puts so great emphasis on the light!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you paint just ordinary objects that I would never think of doing. I also admire your technique, Found your blog via another blogger. Happy painting. Please visit I have just started mine.
ReplyDeleteYour technique is lovely. Wonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteA new favorite...this is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I love the yummie browns and reds in there. I look forward to what you are posting every day...Love them all!
ReplyDeletegreat job on that lamp. Can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteThe ordinary turned beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThat is some beautiful lamp painting!
ReplyDeleteHello Julie:) I noticed a change in your subjects and must say I'm very satisfied about it! I hope you too:) This painting is so beautiful with such a limited pallet (I think). My compliments!
ReplyDeleteJulie, This lamp is just lovely. The background feels full of light. The surfaces are broken and textured but at the same time the lamp looks like solid shiny metal. A nice contradiction!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good...how do you get that color?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteYou have a really original and lovely style. The metallic shine on this lamp is fabulous!
