6" x 6" oil on gessoed panel

 

The last couple of dailies were somewhat experimental in nature, and I didn't find the results acceptable (hence the lack of updates). Here I've returned to my old favorite owl-shaped candle holder, and some "fall fruits".

 

This one was really tough to photograph. Rainy weather today means bad light for photographs in my apartment, and I put a lot of subtle darks into this painting, which are a bit difficult for the camera to pick up on a good day. I ended up photographing it under my work light, and doing more than the usual amount of digital adjustments.

Here we go... #1: "Minerva", July 7th, 2008

5" x 7" oil painting on 1/8th" thick Ampersand Gessobord

 

Here is my first-ever "daily painting". I have a bit of a backlog, so in truth, this one was done back on July 7th. The owl is a candle holder acquired at a local thrift store, and the apples were the finest quality available from Kroger. They were left over from my July 4th applie pie, and if I recall correctly, they were made into pastries not long after this painting was finished. They were good.
