Three Mugs and an Onion

                         6x6 $90
Another onion painting. I felt compelled to come up with a color scheme complimentary to the lovely deep reddish purple of the onion. I decided that I wanted the painting to be mostly cool, but the warm colors would incorporate the onion color. I played around with lots of mugs before coming up with this combo.

Three Plus Three

                                   12x12

Time for another 12x12. This is another new color scheme for me. I'm kind of into the really light blue right now. I like the way it looks with the orange (although I think I'd also like the composition if that cup were dark instead. Hmmmm........) I'm especially fond of the reflection colors in the glass.
I just have a zillion ideas right now. Way more ideas than painting time, but I'm trying to keep up.

Ten Minute Poses

                             6x11.75 on 1/2" board  $150
Here's my entry for the 10 minute challenge. I didn't expect the experience to be as exhausting, stressful, instructive, nor satisfying as it was. I feel like I know this cup intimately! I wouldn't be surprised if I repeat this exercise for myself with other objects. I think the biggest thing I learned is that it will look right when I add the highlights if I get the shapes, values and proportions right.
