January
- Here's what's on the easel.
My ornament was chosen with many other SDP entries
for the Christmas tree at the Smithsonian. The
challenge was to pick from an array of art pieces
and paint it as a 4 x 6 inch ornament. I picked
William Morris Hunt's picture of Elizabeth Claflin.
I painted it as if it was in a silver frame with
pearls. You can see it on the tree, extreme right
halfway down.

This
is a work in progress from Mary Gibilisco's
online class. I changed it somewhat to fit
my canvas and am still working on form and
values.
I am going
to put filler berries in the vase and fix
the red tulip. I need to darken the
background more and get my grapes to not be
so all the same value.
