Ketchup and Salt

Another little still life, 12 x 12". 5 hrs altogether.  It was based on a photo I took at our table at a local diner recently. I could've done more work on this, but I liked it how it stands. I learned quite a bit this time. this is the first time I've tried glass objects, and all the colors in the white areas. It was a fun painting!

Soft Pretzels with Cheese Dip

Another painting. 12" x 12" square stretched canvas with acrylic paint. It's fun painting food! My favorite parts are the foil top of the cheese dip and the salt.
