Day 20

8x8 inch oil on panel. 

visit my website for for paintings and news


I found this lovely blue glass bowl in a thrift shop awhile back and bought it to add to my still life painting props but hadn't yet painted it.  Thrift shops are amazing places to find all kinds of treasures to paint that cost very little.  I've actually found too much stuff there and have nowhere to store it all so these lovely treasures are overflowing off the shelf that I have designated to them and lying all around my studio.  More of them will be coming into use for the remainder of this challenge.  

In this case I decided to put an orange in the blue bowl to make a (hopefully) striking painting using the complementary colours of the two objects.
