I think that I like how the oranges came out most of all in this piece. And maybe the blue fabric too.

Today marks the eighteenth day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you not only my eighteenth painting to you, but also my 16th and 17th paintings as well, as I did not post for day 16 and 17.

Why didn't I post? Well, I was sooooooooooo tired! Yes, the last few days have been tough for me. I got over my cold for the most part, but afterwards, I found myself exhausted. The little bit of energy that I had, in the previous days, I have used to take care of (and spend time with) my family. Prioritizing, cooking and cleaning and helping my little ones with homework have to come first, so I used what little bit of energy that I had to take care of them, instead of paint, and when I wasn't taking care of them, I was resting, yes, sleeping! I don't know why I've been so tired, but, so far, today is a better day and I'm able to handle the day without taking a nap (or two).

Anyway, sorry for missing the last couple of days. I'll try to keep up with the rest of the challenge, and maybe I'll paint ahead, for when I have days such as the ones described, in order to have back ups.

I hope you enjoy Day 16, 17, 18's paintings! I painted all three of them today while my little ones were at school. But now, my fellow art lovers, it's time to tend to some chores. I've got laundry to do, dishes to do, dinner cooking to do, and when the little ones get home soon, they'll need help with their homework.

And so . . . Signing off!

"Take care God bless, and 'Til later fellow art lovers!

Day 5 of 30 in 30 : "Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum"

"Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum" Oil on Canvas, 8"x 10", Original Painting, $50+$10.95 Shipping & Handling

Today marks the fifth day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you my fifth oil painting for the challenge titled "Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum"!

"Silver Teapot, Pear, and Plum" is the fifth oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 25 days, all of the subject matters for my paintings will consist of either metal or glass or both. To learn more about why I chose "Metal and Glass" as my theme for the challenge click here!

What do I like most about this painting? Well, I think I like the black background most of all, as black backgrounds in paintings tend to make the painted images "pop" out into space, and also, help to create more depth in the painting. One thing I've learned from going to art school is that dark colors (like the black background) tend to recede. And the lighter, brighter colors (like the silver teapot, pear, and plum) tend to advance out into space. It's a cool painters trick when creating depth is desired.

Secondly, another thing that I like about this painting are the reflections on the silver teapot which are picked up from the plum and pear.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy today's painting!

Day 4 of 30 in 30 : "Copper Bowl, Teapot & Glass"

"Copper Bowl, Teapot & Glass" Oil on Canvas, 8"x 10", Original Painting, $50+$10.95 Shipping & Handling

Today marks the fourth day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you my fourth oil painting for the challenge titled "Copper Bowl, Teapot & Glass"!

"Copper Bowl, Teapot & Glass" is the fourth oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 26 days, all of the subject matters for my paintings will consist of either metal or glass or both. To learn more about why I chose "Metal and Glass" as my theme for the challenge click here!

I think that I like the limited color palette in this one. It's somewhat bright and sunny on one side, yet a little dark on the other. I also like the shadows created by the objects.

Over the recent days in this 30 in 30 challenge, I've been trying to discuss at least one good thing that I like about each of my paintings. I'm still learning and developing, as an artist, but I find that taking time to discuss the good things about something, leads to self-confidence, and in my case better paintings! :)

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy today's painting! Please keep stopping by. I really appreciate all of the visits from my fellow art  lovers, and I especially appreciate the comments! :)

Talk to ya soon!

'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care and God bless!
