Painting #5

I did not have the luxury of time today, so I had to do a simple, small painting. This one is really small: 5" x 7". What can I say? It's not as good as Duane Keiser. I think I have to learn to premix more oil into my paints to make them a creamier consistency. I also have to get a new sable brush. The idea of still life remains for the most part unexplored for me. The small format might help me venture further in this direction without much investment of time or effort. I think I'll have to redo my signature! Moving on!
