Salt and Pepper

My summer oil painting class is almost over. I did these paintings yesterday. We were asked to paint a few, quick, small, still life paintings of simple objects. I had a lot of fun with the salt and pepper shaker trying to achieve the metallic look on the lids.

The rose and pear was a class painting I did a few weeks ago. I still do not enjoy painting flowers - probably because I find them so difficult to paint.

This final landscape painting of Boulder Park was another class assignment. It was daytime but the moon was visible (day moon!) I love day moons! I gave this painting to my husband, Dave, for our 15th anniversary.

I am trying to decide whether I am going to enroll for oil painting again in the fall or take a drawing class. I love to paint but I have had three classes in a row and I think a change would be nice.
