At times we use still life to 'practice' ideas to apply to the figure and landscape. The stay still and one can relax and focus on the value, hue, and brushwork. The challenge comes when the natural light is used and the object has to be painted at the same time everyday.
These still life 'practices' are sometimes successful, sometimes not. In this case, I was surprised. I like the result, the composition works, the marks are interesting and the color has some surprises.
On to more still life 'practices'! How many of you all use still life to practice ideas?
Happy Painting! Stay warm in this southern snow!
