The pumpkin developed a leak, and this is why I put rosin paper down under live still lifes. I also have a flannel backed plastic table cloth on top of the hardwood table this still life resides on.
An impromptu still life I set up this afternoon, in my wet studio. I"m not used to painting flat other than fabric so I sat to paint the apple it worked out pretty well in the end, I'll finish the apple painting tomorrow.
Another still life I created that hung out in my studio for over a year! I made color studies of the pieces some of which ended up in altered books and collage pieces.
