Coppers and reds

Yes, I missed a day. Yesterday was just impossible to get any painting done.

So today I made up for it with this study of a copper pot ready to cook an Italian meal. I actually broke my own rules and spent two hours on it. It was good to take my time mixing colors. Over time, I'm sure I'll do it faster but for now as long as I keep painting every day (or most every day), I'll be happy.

7"x10" oil on board - 2 hours

PS the photo looks a little fuzzy. I'll take another one while the sun is out tomorrow.

Well done, Dana. I love the shadowy bits and reflective aspects as well as the glints of light. The painting is not only satisfying to look at with its layers and blends, but it makes me think. Where is that light coming from?! Figured it out... I think. Good for you keeping up with the painting days as well as you have! Good luck... For how long does the challenge go forward?

Thanks Leslie. I don't know how long it will go on. I'm taking it one week at a time. Eventually I'd like to link my blog to the Daily Paintworks site.
