I'm happy ...

Reflections ~ 5"x7"~ oil

I've painted a holiday painting and I'm happy with it.  Two amazing things when you think about it.

I have two of these small inexpensive panels measuring 5" x 7".  I thought it would be nice to use them both for ornament paintings.

Its amazing all the reflections you can see in a round object.  It really makes you focus your attention on shapes, not named objects.  I really enjoyed painting this one.  I'm happy .....

  3. Deb, thank you. I was thinking that also. Not sure it will be done this year, but maybe next year.

    Jani, thanks bunches. I can't believe that I could paint the shiny object after my weird attempts earlier. Maybe it was the practice and seeing where I needed to focus? Thank you.

    Thanks Jeanette. I couldn't agree more, reflective pieces are a lot of fun to paint. Who knows I may even frame this one.
