This is one of my little daily paintings from earlier. I felt like something different that week.
Normally, I don't believe in doing still life from photos, but a friend of mine in Frederickburg has a wonderful collection of THINGS, that the last time I was there I took tons of pics of bunches of her stuff, in the light of a lamp.

Here are a few progress pics:

Day 8 of my 31-in-31 of the first month of the New Year!

I just HAD to do something different today. I wish I could say this was from life, because I think it's a bit silly to do still life from photos, but I had a bunch of photos from a historical museum during my travels last summer, and the little glass bottles I saw there (among many other things) have been stuck in my head ever since.

Here are some progress pics. (A nice thing about still life, just like landscapes, you can change proportions to suit your preference! I shortened this bottle to fit a 5x7 better.)

Thanks for watching! Please share! :)
