This painting is from my weekly class. The instructor had me make a value study of the set up, and then in the following class, I painted over the value study. I put a lot more time into this painting than I do when I'm painting at home. I like the way the teapot turned out, and my little leaf! Not too happy with the pomegranate, though. I couldn't get its little snout right. Next time.
This may be my last painting that I post this week. I'm off to Houston to help out my daughter again. Her husband is out of town and she's a working mom. I help get the kids off to school and help with meals and homework. I'm taking my painting gear, and I'll retrieve my camera, left on my last trip. I just don't know how to upload photos on her computer. Have a good week!
Beaux reflets sur votre théière.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections in the teapot! You're doing great :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy! Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteThank you , Alison. Thanks to your comments, I am learning a little French!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, the teapot looks fabulous! It's great that you live close enough to your daughter that you're able to help out. I live 7 hours from my Mom, can be rough at times when my hubby is out of town, we're military so we never know where we'll be stationed. Enjoy your grandkids:)
ReplyDeleteI think we all concur! Great lights and reflections in your teapot Virginia
ReplyDeleteI really like the reflecting colors and highlights on the teapot. And I wouldn't mind having a teapot like that. I've read that pomegranates are hard to paint for some reason. Have a good time in Houston!
ReplyDeleteI like the warm fruit in the cool environment, and the metal of the teapot. A lovely painting, Virginia.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for visiting! I love your comments.
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful Virginia! I think the little snout looks great! And the reflection in the teapot is awesome. :) Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a chance to paint while taking on being a super mom and grandmom. Interesting zen like painting with the pomegranate and tea pot.
ReplyDeleteI like the airy-ness in your background and its relationship to your subjects--the lights and shadows in back/foreground illuminate them. It really "feels" like there's a lot of space around them. I hope you figure out how to upload new paintings from Houston!
ReplyDeleteWonderful teapot, Virginia, with those reflections!
ReplyDeleteHave fun w/ your family. Enjoy the grandkids!
ReplyDeleteLove this teapot Virginia. You did a wonderful job with the reflections and color....now its time to relax and enjoy those grandkids!
ReplyDeleteI think the pomegranate came out really nice. Love the colors in it against the greys.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit and comment. I had a wonderful time with my grandchildren, but I'm very happy to be back home tonight!
ReplyDeleteA nice little painting. I especially like the pom reflected in the teapot, and your shadows. Glad you had a great trip...and now back to painting! Thanks for all your comments on my blog. You are a prolific commentor! I appreciate that, and I'm sure other artists do too!
ReplyDeleteWow! I did not know you had it in you. Talk about hidden talents! When is you next show and sale?
ReplyDeleteThe office just isn't the same without you. Phone or e-mail me sometime.
