Small Works in the studio

It's February and I see I haven't posted here for a year. Well, this is when I have time to reflect on what I have been working on during the previous year and through the winter months when I can't be outside. These little 6x6 still life set ups are so challenging, the proportions and angles, the perspective, all bring me to task not to mention color and shadows! Find yourself a little flat surface, take whatever time you need to create a small scene that is interesting and give it a try! Repeat! I try and paint 5 days during a 7 day period; sometimes it is only a half an hour after work but practice is essential.
