Lemon
I finally shot the lemon. Unfortunately, I waited too long. It was slightly desiccated. The pulp was dry and chunky, and thus a little dull. I need to get some fresh lemons, and reshoot.

Recent picture of a bunch of leaves. There will be lemons.
I finally got around to taking pictures for the still life. I added a few pixels left and right, thus the lazy photoshopping on the right to get rid of the candle light.
I decided, sooner than later, to make some additional beer bottle paintings. Realizing more bottles means more options, so I went out and bought more beer.
This is not composed, but where I placed them when I got them home.
… from whenever to whenever and haven’t had much to blog about—not that that is a requirement to blog. Here is one of my efforts I just finished, so I thought I’d share the image. The painting is 9 by 16 inches oil on panel. It is currently untitled, but I plan to have a title for when it is exhibited.
…pictures forthcoming.
Here is a reference image of a flower until then.
Tonight is still life night. As soon as I finish this post, I am going to start cutting lemons into pleasing parts. Instead of a new post I added the images below.
I finally set up a new backdrop for my still life images with the aforementioned black fabric; I was using a piece of black foamcore. It only took two days of procrastination (pushing 4 pins into the wall, and a little ironing).
I am in painting mode, therefore the posts are spreading out again. I’ve been working on the “traditional” paintings that I’ve mentioned before. Part of that is the portrait I posted awhile ago. Today, I worked on it with what I think are good results, so I thought I’d show the latest stage—still a lot of work to go, but it is taking shape.
I also got some black backdrop fabric from a friend today. Hopefully it will improve my production quality.
