Antique???

When do you get to call something antique? Day 3 was all about metal. I decided on these scissors at the last minute....my morning was about a brass bunny....not to be posted! After lunch I went with stainless steel. These scissors are always in my painting supplies. They make me smile. They are "Hello Kitty" scissors that were my daughters. I guess technically they still belong to her, but...Since they are about 25 years old, can I call them antique or just old?

Day 2 of the workshop was all about glass. Everyone got to set up their own composition and light source....I kept changing my glass object and again wiped off a few before I got started....I can't wait to try glass again...challenging and fun!

Last week I attended a workshop with artist and teacher Carol Marine. Each day Carol painted a demo on the topic of the day....the first day was all about white! Sounds simple until you find out that white isn't white! So, after a few false starts, "wipers"...and some comments and corrections from Carol, here is my "Day 1".

I found these little pears and they were so cute! They just about jumped into my shopping cart! I painted this one on a small piece of a linen panel. It is 1/2 the size of my small paintings....Kind of like the pears - half the size of a normal pear!

20 minutes?

So, after painting this pear a few times, as a sample and as a demo, I decided to see what would happen if I tried to paint it again in 20 minutes....well, it actually took 30 minutes...but I was happy with the looser feel and the brighter, prettier colors. My original post was called Lucky Find....posted on September 14.

I doesn't seem possible that it has been so long since my last post.....As promised, here are two of my favorite red pears! Aren't pears great? They have a definitely recognizable shape....I love that!
