Another Still Life Painting

Yet another still life painting. For this one, I wanted to make a more complex arrangement by adding more objects. This one was tough to do. I had to go back over it after it dried because it was muddy in some places, and you can tell that I just picked at it too much. Now that I've gone over it, I'm now pleased with it. Hopefully, I can use something like this for our post card project.

Still life

This is a painting that I did either last week or the week before (can't remember exactly). As you may have known, I like doing paintings of still life setups. The reason I like the still life is because there are so many different ways that I can arrange it. Plus, it's easier than trying to paint the figure, especially one that continuously moves around while I'm trying to paint him/her. Also, for some reason, I like to incorporate the skull in some of my drawings and paintings. It's a complex form that, in my opinion, gives the drawings and paintings more depth.
