My most recent effort. I see a lot of issues. 🙂 Most likely resolved with more practice.

Getting Back in The Groove
It’s been 7 weeks since I’ve picked up a paintbrush… just busy doing other things, (like reading for a book club, Ancestry DNA analysis of my mom’s matches, and some day trips w/ hubby). I had this red-toned 8×8 canvas lying around so decided to do a grayscale version of a coffee cup (image from Unsplash).
Black-Eyed Susans in a Vase
I based this 8×10 painting on a photo by Autumn Mott Rodeheaver on Unsplash.
Espresso Coffee with Spoon
This painting was done on a 6×8 canvas panel, based on a photo by Jeremy Ricketts on Unsplash.
Yummy! — but no calories
This painting (on an 8×8 gessoed wood panel) is based off of a photo by Sara Cervera on Unsplash. I’ve been meaning to paint this for quite a while and finally got around to it.
Red Shoes
Once upon a time, I had a pair of red shoes like this. My 8×8 painting is based on a photo by Emily Pottiger on Unsplash. I kept my palette limited.
Background color — Ultramarine Blue, Cad-free Yellow Medium, Titanium White
Shoes — Anthraquinone Red, Naphthol Red, Phthalo Green Blue Shade, Titanium White
There’s a few things I need to tidy up… the stiletto heel needs to be straighter; the drawing was better. The shadow of the leftmost shoe should be straighter, as should the divider line (for lack of a better phrase).
Cup of Coffee
I painted this cup of coffee, based on a photo by Jeremy Yap on Unsplash, on an 8×8 canvas, with cerulean blue as the primary blue.
