Last Wednesday

The Set-Up, aka, the still life one is supposed to paint
This is such a glamorous painting space. Yes, this is what art classrooms across the country look like! I attempted to paint this last week. The colors are again a complementary juxtaposition -- this time of purple versus yellow. I struggled and struggled. 

Brought my canvas home, having thought it looked pretty good, and then realized that it stunk. Worked on it some more, made it stink less. Sometimes, paintings come so easily and other times they are like giving birth to a big-headed baby.

I will post tomorrow what the painting looks like now. It has had to travel through the tunnel of ugly in the meantime.

Your Imaginary Friend,
