Blooming Huge Blue Glass Still Life: Day 15

Over the past few weeks, I have been painting one particular canvas blue. It has appeared on this blog before, but the slow creeping of the paint over the surface was not particularly interesting. Days 5-14 were mostly ‘painted more

Lady in a Landscape: Day 2

The second day’s work on Whiskey (she’s on the rocks) did not go well. In fact, this post is about day three, which was a day of painting I did not scrub out. The second day of painting left me
