Daily Paintings  February  #32

Took a lot of photos of this simple jug this morning from many angles. Had 2 lemons freshly picked on the table so added them for a bit of interest.  The photo I chose had a stark simplicity of the jug against  the white wall, table and patterned tablecloth.   

23 x 29 cm

Maybe I should have done it portrait format instead of landscape... have to learn to mix those subtle yellow browns... after wiping the jug down and trying again felt enough fiddling for today.... .

Daily Paintings February # 31

Daily Paintings  February  # 31

Ok... so what's with the 31... well 31 follows 30 and since I did 30 daily paintings in January I am continuing the numbering pattern....too 120 and counting. I did try doing 120 paintings from the result of a webinar with Larry Seiler  at wetcanvas.. but somewhere along the way ...need we say more!!! Decided this month to do more glass....until I get bored...the numbering will be only for the daily paintings and not my on going work that I do at my weekly workshop.

The reference is from WDE events at wetcanvas...

23 x 29 cm oils on gessoed corrugated cardboard.  I toned the canvas with a very dark grey green...done with a palette knife.

Would love feedback and constructive criticism....!!!!

Still not over the "fear" factor.... who/what is is I certainly don't know..... posting where there are over 400 entries  who will even notice....   OK its only day 4 maybe in a few days I will get over it.

I really want to take this opportunity to thank my very good friend Meredith Adler.... without her constant support I wouldn't be here.... Thanks Meredith!!!

Corked glass jar.. oil with palette knife,paper towels, baby wipes and cleaning wipes... still with my limites palette of ultramarine and raw umber  toned the format with a thin layer of ultramarine.  Not sure if this is finished... critique/advise would be much appreciated. 

Here is a charcoal sketch I did before the painting.
