Click Here to BidThis has been not an easy painting week. Next week I will be doing larger still lifes and maybe working some from photos I took while in California. I like the way the brush work around the cup repeats the shape of the rose on this piece. I like the abstract shapes of the background rose. There are things that could definitely be improved upon, but I have decided to let it alone and move on to the next painting. Sometimes, I think we definitely bring with us our distractions to the studio and it creeps into the work itself, albeit unintentionally. It's a holiday week-end with lots of things happening, so maybe my mind is not as focused as I would like---who knows--I will expect a better time in the studio come next week!
