Mugging for the Camera
6x8in oil on canvas panel $125.
Some mugs from my collection. I really do like the polka dot one
but never drink out of it.
I bought it purely to paint.
Those who follow this blog know that my daughter moved away with her job
and I had been missing her.
Last Sunday, our local paper did a very nice story on my
move into the new gallery/studio space and also about my daily paintings.
I forwarded Rainy, my daughter, the newspaper link and she sent me
these beautiful flowers with a note saying how proud she was of me!
Tears and tissue time!!!
Artist Note.
Yellow roses are my favorite rose and Callas are my one of my favorite
flowers to paint, but I worked on these flowers for hours today and
for the life of me could not get something I liked.
I do want to paint them so I will try again tomorrow.
I think the problem was the long shape of the callas mixed
with rather a large rose.
Have to work on getting the design much stronger than what I was doing.
