(SOLD)
I recently came across an old photo of a coffee cup and spoon. I had done a painting of it several years ago and thought it would be interesting to try another small painting of it. The one on the top is the new painting, not sure if it's any better though.....hmmm, have I not grown as an artist? I have mentioned in previous posts how I always admire artists whose works are very loose, but I can never achieve that and realize I have to control my brush strokes because I don't have the confidence in my ability to let go.

Hi Jackie, I think the few little tiny highlights on the new one pop it into 3 dimensions in a way that the softer light of the first painting I don't think could ever do. It makes the coffee in the cup looks liquid, the cup looks rounder, the whole thing just looks more alive. Tiny, tiny differences. Beautiful.
