I had great fun setting up this still life! I've been slowly building a collection of still life props - like the above fake grapes and orange pot from Michaels and the velvet pumpkin from Target - and wanted to give them a spin. For the month of November I was kind of "accidentally" only painting still life set-ups from my studio and I'm glad I got some good practice in. What started out like a normal still life painting ended up morphing into a 5-hour-long painting that took me multiple sessions to paint. This painting really brought me out of my comfort zone and I am really pleased with it. I even love the velvet look of the pumpkin! I will say, though, that I've never tried painting grapes before and went into it blind - and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to try to figure it out myself. Here's to continuing to learn and grow!
This painting will be available in my first-ever shop launch on Friday, January 6th at 4 pm CST! All available paintings will have an active link that will re-route you directly to the painting on my shop.
