71 - Plum and Bottle

Decided to skip the fancy dinner to just relax... This is the result.  A plum and a little bottle.  Another Goodwill find.  I wasn't sure how I was going to do the brush strokes on the bottle.  But it all came together fairly easily.

A quick shot of the piece in progress.  I meant to take one earlier in the session, but, I got wrapped up.  Hope everyone enjoyed the Holiday!

70 - Brushes...

Pulled this one out today just as a reminder.  I painted this as an exercise in "selective focus."  Being a "realistic" painter, I'm always wrestling with the line of what to keep and what to leave out...  Sometimes it gets really complicated.  Especially when working from photos!  There's a whole lot going on here, and I wanted it all to be recognizable with out over doing it.  Truth be told, it was pretty tricky for me.  But, I think it worked out pretty well.  Until next time...  Happy Holidays!
