Today's Painting



It is a nasty weather day to shoot, but this is very close other than the glare. Man, I am loving this.....
I took an oil painting class a few years ago because I had such trepidation about the medium, so I thought jumping right in would help. It was a typical beginner class with still life set ups weekly. One set up was a coffee cup on a fancy cloth and by the end on the painting I had added a handful of my own imaginings. My instructor looked casually over my shoulder and said "You are lying there" because I wasn't copying the reality of the still life.
I really love to "lie" in my paintings. Much more fun. And I am really lying in this one.
