Cheers to "Firsts"!


During a wonderful art "retreat" with friends, I was able to help construct a still life and paint it with acrylics! My first ever painting from "still life" and also my first ever acrylic painting! I'm not unhappy with this painting even though the paint totally misbehaved in my opinion on the canvas (being accustomed to oils) and I struggled with the light and shadow in my first ever still life painting.

Still- this is a wonderful remembrance of best friends, a beautiful venue, lovely fresh sweat peas, and a fantastic blue and white vase!

Enjoy - more to come =)
