6' x 8"
Persimmon #69

It took me a couple of days to remember how to paint.  Well, at least that's what it felt like after returning from Thanksgiving vacation.  I began this painting on Monday, but had to walk away after I realized that I was spinning my wheels and basically just pushing paint around.  Fortunately, things came together today and I completed this persimmon painting.  I love the orange and blue together and that cute little kettle.

I just got my new palette in the mail and I love it! It's custom made by WindRiver Arts.  It's beautifully made and fits perfectly with my old French Easel - look how big it is!  This is my studio still life set-up.  Picture me here every morning while its raining.  I'll be back at it tomorrow painting number seventy - maybe some lemons and more reflection.
