Looks like I have a couple more of tea pots to paint.
I guess everyone will know it's me if there is at least a touch of orange somewhere.
Orange keeps sneaking back into my work. Ha ha. ONLY 4 days to go in Leslie
Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days! It's been work, it's been scary, it's been fun, it's
been worth it. I now have a desire to paint, actually paint, that I lacked before. Truly,
I am so excited.

THE THREE MUSKETEAS

12th Painting

The Three Musketeas
8x10 Oil on c/b
$75 US

This painting took a longer time than I thought it would take. Didn't get to bed until 1:00 am last night washing out brushes. Wasn't happy with it then, but the morning light perked me up and I was able to  find the look I was going for at last. Whew! So much for trying to get a painting ahead. Back to the easel.

WITH TEA BAG

9th Painting

WITH TEA BAG
8x10 Oil on c/b
SOLD

It was so much fun to do the black tea pot, that I decided to add
a little something to it, with a touch of color. This is a little larger
painting and it was somewhat easier to paint. Maybe I am used
to a little larger size. Seemed to take about the same time as the
previous smaller ones :)

BLACK TEA ANYONE ?

7th Painting

Black Tea Anyone?

6x8 Oil on c/b

$50 US

Well, it has been a full week, and as Leslie said, we have 

completed 25% of our goal. Today I thought I'd do a value

study, black, white, and somewhere in between. Looking 

around for more teapots for tomorrow.  

COOL TEA POT

Used some deep purples instead of the true
black of this tea pot (coffee pot?) 

HOT TEA POT

Hot Tea Pot
6x8 Oil on c/b

I enjoyed the fact that many of the artists
had a theme for their paintings, while I am
wandering around looking for inspiration.
Then all of a sudden, I have some tea pots
to paint. Hooray, I have a theme too :)
                             

TEA TIME

Tea Time
8x8 oil on c/b

Today was a real learning lesson for me. Do NOT
change the color of your background 4 times! It is
frustrating and that's an understatement. Hope you
like the final version.
