| Dear Subscribers, Greetings! New still-life this week. I think it's got a different feel than some of my paintings. I'm excited about it. First, the setup:  The setup isn't much to look at, pretty boring actually, but I had a mental image of how I wanted the finished painting to look....and this was a good starting point. Next stage:  I'm trying to create a focused pool of light around the sake carafe, with a composition that circles the eye into the dark and then back into the light again. Next stage:  Next stage:  And the completed painting, "Sake & Plums" (14x11):  JUST SOLD!:   "Mango & Agua" and "Morning Light" Until next week, David A. N.
