I was really interested in the contrast of shapes with this still life of a small milk pitcher with squared-off sides with a fresh, green pair. I decided that I would soften all the edges except for the focal point - the end of the pear.
This still life was the result of a timed-study exercise. I set myself a limit of 4 periods of 4 minutes each. I was pleased with the result, so I touched up a few things and put my name on it.
This daily painting is a study from a photo of my cat Bridgette. She wasn't pleased about being photographed, but the I am pleased with the likeness.
This still life study of big yellow pear is another painting that began as a timed exercise completed in 3 4-minute segments with a 3 minute wrap-up - total of 15 minutes timed. The result was worthy of some finishing touches and a signature.
This still life study of big red apple is another painting that began as a timed exercise completed in 3 4-minute segments with a 1 minute wrap-up. The result was worthy of some finishing touches and a signature. On the bottom of the fresh apple, the green of the calyx stands out against the red and is the reason for the name.
This still life study of an orange is another painting that began as a timed exercise completed in 3 4-minute segments with a 1 minute wrap-up. The result was worthy of some finishing touches and a signature.
