So I've been waiting and waiting with this painting, not sure what to do next.  I started working on it again last week . . . layering and layering more color until it just started to feel right.  I scanned it in the computer a few times, tweaked some things, played with the background a bit and I'm finally ready to call this one done!

Have a lovely day!

Lucky 13!

I think my sister-in-law, Hallie, gave me this jug a few years ago.  Or else I bought this when I was with her.  I can't remember exactly -- all I know is that it reminds me of her every time I look at it.  On second thought, perhaps it is just because it is tall and slender like her.  Ha!

This is #13 -- Thank you for visiting.

Tweaked and Sprayed

#13 - work in progress

so far . . . getting sprayed

I'm working on #13 . . . I'm not sure that I'll have it finished by tonight, so I thought I would show my overall progress in the challenge.  These are the first 12 still life paintings for Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 Challenge.  I'm hoping for 25 by the end of September, but I'm not going to kill myself to get there.  Quality paintings are more important to me, than just the quantity.

Below is the "tweaked" version of my "Blue Pitcher" that I posted yesterday.  The blues are uploading weird to blogger on my computer, so I don't know what you're seeing, but while they are vibrant, they are not neon and more a true blue than purple.  Anyway . . . I'm feeling really good about this collection.  I think they look pretty sharp all together.  :)  Thanks for popping by.
