Day 27 of 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge.

Had to skip a couple day's of posting but was actually 

working on this piece...so can I count it as Day's 25 & 26?

Ahhh who's counting anyway?

About this set up -  I have had these bunch of pussy willows for 

quite awhile wanting to paint them.  Interesting that they don't really

die, and keep shedding the little bud shells.

The Tenmoku Tea Bowl I had painted one like it before in

Abbey Ryan's workshop.  She get's them from her pottery friend

Jury Smith who has a nice online shop called Bottle & Bowl.

They are really beautiful pieces of art!

Bowl and Spoon Challenge #2

Sold

8x10 Acrylic sold

This is challenge #2 from the Rookie Painter blog and YES it was a challenge!  At first I thought the spoon was going to be the most difficult, but the bowl gave me fits!  I had to walk away 4 times....folded some laundry, played with the dog....finally I got to a point where enough was enough.  The bottom of the bowl is still kind of questionable, but overall it turned out a little better than hoped for.
