Daily Painting Practice - Stack of dishes


Here is my, roam around the house painting kit. I was lucky this time because I was able to set it on the kitchen table.
All blocked in and ready for a few highlights and details. I find high key or very light paintings much harder to do than the low key darker paintings.

I have been eyeing this corner for a while now. I like the spontaneous look and the form the stack of cleaned dishes make. I also liked the spots of color from the two teacups. Just a touch of home. This may be a vanishing scene in American kitchens since most people use dishwashers now.

What's all this about your daughter being the dishwasher?! You've got 3 weeks until that happens.
