Day 22

Megan's Choice

Oil on Canvas

6 x 6

 

My ten year old daughter asked if she could choose the items

for my still life a few days ago. I hesitated, thinking about all the art rules I try

to follow when I choose my subjects. Then I thought, "What the hey!"

I didn't want to see her disappointed and it was kind of cool that

she was taking an interest. So I said, "Go for it." She then proceeded to

choose the three most difficult-to-paint items on my shelf. I'll admit

there was some teeth knashing at certain points (who knew brass could be
so hard to paint?) but overall I think it turned out pretty well.
