Dear Subscribers,
Greetings!
A new still life this issue.
Stages. Here is the setup:

I try not to start on a completely white panel, but it happens
sometimes. You see below I'm sure to cover it up quickly.

This beginning stage is my favorite part of painting. The form emerges
quickly. Something from nothing.

At the moment above, I thought I was finished (you'll notice there is a
signature). The next day I realized there was something wrong. It just
wasn't working. Instead of adding focus to the pitcher, the chunky
bluer areas of background were a distraction. So you see below I
simplified the background. The added calm and allows the pitcher to
dominate.

And the finished painting, "Abandon Me" (16 x 16):

Hi guys, I'm thrilled to be sponsored by ArtFrames.com
. I've been using their frames pretty much
exclusively since 2009, and for good reason. They're awesome. Solid
wood and beautiful finishes for frames that can be built in standard
and custom sizes. My favorite models are Bari and Firenze, but there's
a ton to choose from. Stephen is so helpful and responsive. Right now
you can use coupon code DavidC for a 5% discount on your order. Even
better, if you buy 6 or more frames use coupon code DavidC10 for 10%
off! Artframes also offers flat rate shipping of $16.95 and free
shipping on orders over $250. -David
