We use this little pitcher for maple syrup but I thought he looked better with eggshells than with scattered pancakes. This painting was done a few days ago. Yesterday's painting was a scraper--all the paint scraped off with the palette knife after many hours of work. I think everyone who paints has had that experience (well, maybe almost everyone).

How cute is that! Love all that beautiful gray. It really sets off the orange tones of the eggshells nicely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light; love how really strong the reds are and how they are offset by the gray. Wonderful painting! I am a master scraper, by the way! And thanks for the really nice comment!
ReplyDeleteEggs are so darn hard and you did an amazing job! Yep, we are all scrapers, it's how we learn our craft.
