This is the last painting until next year! I thought this would be an easy one to slip in before Christmas but NO it was not!! I struggled with it. The apple was ok but I probably won't paint another composition with the spoon placed like this! Terrible trouble with getting the silver spoon to look shiny.

Time has been against me the last week and I have just started to get around to painting!! I am trying my best to stay nice to be around grrrr! This is one I did a few weeks ago...I like painting silver and  had fun painting the spoon! Here's hoping I get to do more this week!!

Lunchtime

Drawing #61

Graphite and pastel

My lunch today! I was about to eat this boiled egg... it looked so good with the silver spoon and eggcup, I set it up so I could draw it first. It was cold by the time I finished so I had to boil another one!  The things I do for the sake of art!!!

Crochet Hook

Drawing #58

Graphite and pastel

This is another drawing I did before I left for my holiday...one of my silver crochet hooks I have had for years! I'm loving being on holiday and seeing my family!!Taking lots of photos!

Pencils

Drawing # 32

Graphite and Pastel

Some more drawing tools! These are a mix of pencils I also use...some are old, some are new. I find I use the same ones all the time. The silver one is very fine and I use it to begin a drawing. I still have a few other ideas for 'tools of the trade' I can draw, so they will go in my morgue file! I  have two files...one is a folder with ideas and the other is digital photos. Often I will take photos of something I want to paint  in the future, that way I don't forget! I have found these to be very helpful...I know I can find  something when I need to.

Heirloom Tomatoes

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

I am still on the food trail!  I bought these heirloom tomatoes at the Farmers Market and after searching for something to set them up with, I spied this brushed silver tin  in  my studio that has a lavender scented candle  inside....that was it!! I liked the grey tones with just a little color.

Sewing Assembly

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

Another one in the cotton series...this is a bit different from the reels of cotton I usually do. I enjoyed painting the silver in this, the thimble has some subtle color reflections that I like. I still have more to come but they will be different colors...I've been painting a lot of blue and need a change!
