New Polish pottery still life painting

One day left on my Nibblefest NFAC auction. Auction ends tomorrow night (May 27th). This was a fun entry to do. The theme this month for Nibblefest is the “Secret Life of Toys”.. After playing around with my set up my husband balanced the mug and put in the rubber duck! heh .. I knew I had my setup.. that was IT.. ok.. i added in a spoon! heh!! This was a JOY to paint.. it also fit into the May EBSQ “Scintillating” show.. Ok.. I had to look up what that meant! It means to “sparkle or shine”.. well.. The water in this painting sparkles.. the spoon sparkles.. I really am pleased with this painting! I love it..one of my favorites!

Here’s the painting: Its a bigger painting too!! Its 11×14x1.5 Acrylic on canvas with painting wrapping around the sides.
“Duck out of Water: Polish pottery LVII”.. Yes. the 57th in my Polish pottery still life series!

Auction is here!

I had to set aside number 56 in the series to quickly do 57 for Nibblefest.. I am almost finished with 56.. I will enter it also into the Scintillating show.. it has a glass of ice water in it and the CUTEST Polish pottery ceramika Artystyczna plate. A cute horse plate.. and a flower.. Almost done and will start that auction this week! So be on the look out for it!

Well.. better get back to my painting.. I also look forward to doing the show this month “Childrens Art interpretted by Adults” on EBSQ.. that was a show that I suggested.. so I MUST enter. My boys are handing me drawings.. so I got to get moving on that piece. I love the ideas that kids have.. I have a feeling it will have something to do with lizards or something boyish. Nothing pink.. that is for sure! Heh Lots of paintings to do.. many are still just sitting in my head.. ready to be painted.
