Every Friday in San Pedro, CA there is a farmer's market on 6th Street which is the main drag and across from my studio. I decided to get some fresh flowers and stick them in an antique silver pitcher that I had purchased from a thrift shop across the street. I always enjoy the thrift shop visit as it is managed by a very interesting women who was a product of the 60s and grew up in the South Bay (Redondo Beach). She's always interesting to talk with. I told her I would do a painting using the pitcher and when it was finished, I would bring it down to her store.
I really tried to focus on all of the elements that go into creating a successful painting. Of all my still life attempts to date, I feel many of those elements came together. Of course I can always sit back and pick it apart but I think this time, I'll just be satisfied with what I've got!!!
