The eggshell? Just reminds me of easter.
620 Simply Salt
How could I paint the pepper mill without painting the salt shaker. Tomorrow I'll be doing a painting demo at Glenlyon Norfolk School from 1 to 4 at the Victoria Sketch Club Show. In case anyone wants to come visit. I will bring my set up. It's quite portable. I don't know what I'll bring to paint. Maybe a jar of dandelions. Hmmmm.

618 Darling Duo
I found this sweet pair of salt'n pepper shakers at the local consignment store yesterday and just had to paint them. Sorry about the rain drops on the painting. It was spitting a bit and I couldn't wait to take the photo.UPDATE: I just learned that these birds are King Fishers and not ducklings. The title was originally Darling Duckling Duo.
614 Bottoms Up!
I didn't know what to call this painting. If there was a bottle of Tabasco sauce in the set up I would have called it the Fix. There was a blue bandana as a back drop with a pattern. I put the pattern but it looked too busy....even with the pattern simplified. So I took it out. I like it.
Raw eggs in a glass always reminds me of the movie "Rocky". (It dates me I guess). For a while after that movie came out I knew teenage boys who started drinking raw eggs and working out. Hmmmm.

I was supposed to go out painting with friends this morning but they backed out due to "rain phobia". So I moved on to plan B (pears). Well here they are. I painted them with my left hand (except for the finest details). I am pleased with them. I think when I paint with my left hand I really take my time and plan each stroke carefully.
Here's my set-up in case anyone's interested. Very simple and comfortable. I like to sit down to paint small paintings. Just a back stage made of foam core taped in the corner. I have a black foam core stage as well. And a few scarves I clip to it for a nice background sometimes. My only lighting today was from the north window to my right.

610 Pears Napping
You can get a lot of mileage out of a pair of pears.
I'm practicing painting with my left hand. I want to train myself to be able to paint with both hands. As a back up in case I sprain my wrist or something. Could ward off carpel tunnel eh. It's only my second day. I've been writing letters and doing everything with my left hand I would normally do with my right. It's kind of fun. I also think it could speed up my painting process or add a new flavour to it.
