summer is definitely gone


This morning was quite cold and felt like the approaching season...............it wasn't even truly light until seven. I had set myself an indoor goal anyway and did another still life on a panel. The panel doesn't seem to allow for a wash drawing or toning very well so I began with a sparse drawing with relatively thick neutral paint and it seemed to work OK. Our portrait group starts tonight and I am considering working on a panel but will be prepared with some linen just in case. This picture is 8x10" - lemon slices and a hot pepper on some aluminum foil. The foil is very hard to paint but the affect is quite beautiful - I am hoping to do it justice soon.
