In the progress look at new painting Throwing Mardi Gras Beads.
Jan 6 is Epiphany, twelth night marking the official start to carnival season till Ash Wed, day after Mardi Gras. This painting is about capturing the beauty of human figure and motion.
As in most of my most paintings in realism , objects Grab and Beg me to paint them. It all starts when a unique composition of an object framed into my line of of sight will first grab and hold my attention, and asethitcally showcase it's negative space, shadows, reflected light, and highlights.
Does this happen to you too?
A prime example of this is this New Orleans French Quarter hitching post. pressed here. Yet another of many of in- progress paintings.
In this update I just stained -in a few touches to lightest areas.
Cafe Dumonde Sugar dispenser /Napkin holder
In progress.
Today's pass to address my impatience to get the glass of dispenser washed down from lime to closer to the actual color mix of white gray green and ...even hint of pink ...tones of the #Cafedumonde sugar dispenser next to napkin holder. The multiple colors are from reflections and background backlit sunlight illuminations.

Looking through some old photos, recently I came across a couple of old paintings. This is one those. One of my first experimental paintings in realism. This painting hooked me on realism painting.
This painting is one of my all time favorite paintings.
