This is my submission to the Daily Paintworks 'hand challenge'. It is done from life and my hand kept moving slightly sooooo....it was challenging to say the least. 8"X8" Oil Canvas Panel

Who knew that a napkin could be so difficult to paint? 8"X8" Oil Canvas Board

I am still working with transparency. I was pleased with this set up and the way that it turned out. It was tricky getting the ribbon to curl properly with the correct values. For some reason the yellow is not photographing well. It is more washed out than it actually is. I will try and locate a spot that maintains the integrity of the color and photograph again. 5"X7" Oil Raymar Canvas Panel

My intention in this painting was to put the gold glass ornaments in shadow and focus the light on the mum. I wanted to see what kind of value structure it would take to make the ornaments look gold and in shadow. 6X8 Oil Canvas Panel

More practice work here. These birds were not clear glass but they were white ceramic which was challenging to paint. I am finding that value is the key. I like the way that this painting turned out. 6X6 OIl Canvas Panel

Now this was difficult to do. Painting a glass figurine poses all kinds of problems. I think that the most difficult is finding a background of the right value that shows off the glass. It was great practice. I have hung in on this painting and now I am pleased with the results. It was very difficult and I learned sooo much. Don't give up until it suits you is the first thing I learned!
