i think you could make and sell a bunch of these and they'd look so well together.

Breakfast

So I got a booth at Summerfest here in Logan this summer. I wanted to pump out some sellable stuff. I had a bunch of eggshells I wanted to paint; this is what I put together.

The back of the bowl is getting a lot of glare; its value is much lower.

I've been experiementing, I'm not going to explain what these are. Just beat them up please.

Richelieu

Going to leave it in this stage. I'm always fighting chalky flesh as I was in this one.

UPDATE: I replaced the photo with a better one.

"All for One..."

So I'm painting a portrait of Cardinal Richelieu for the theater department's production of "The 3 Musketeers." Apparently there is a scene in which he is painting himself, so I have to leave the painting unfinished. I'm going to start applying color to the face, work my way out, and leave sections just the underpainting.

Kettle bell NAI

Revisited with some glaze and scumbling. Tried to work out the pastiness

Kettle bell

So I got my big bristle filbert out and painted this. It was a fun change from the Lang Nickels. I loaded up a lot more paint and tried to be a little looser. I'm not finished yet, I think I'll use this as a beat-up piece for glazes and scumbles. I'm starting on a companion piece soon, too.

It's got a little glare in the shadow that throws the value off a little.
