Summer Work: Week 1, Day 1, Tuesday

           First painting of the summer, completed on the first full day of summer, my first day of vacation:

           I continue to practice by observing from life. Today I was inspired by neighbor Jim, Giorgio Morandi, and Lynne from class and their work with either bottles or teakettles. I painted for only a few hours, and it definitely needs some additional work. The composition isn't exactly how I wanted, so I got a little bored. I had intended the Jonathan Adler teapot to fill more of the space, but somehow it ended up as it is.

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA!
