Still lifes are not particularly exciting for me to paint – though I paint them. Painting still lifes is good practice, however, because of the varying shapes, textures and colors involved, along with the challenge of complex composition. Painting still lifes actually helps in painting portraits. In fact, painting in any style assist with painting any other style. You can look at this painting and see all the separate elements I had to paint. There were decisions and layers of brush strokes involved with each item.
I’m working up to the 10,000 paintings said to be necessary before one can expect to claim “mastery” in oil painting. I’m still under 1000 paintings, so I have a ways to go. It’s time for another portrait. Have a wonderful weekend. Winifred

I’ve attempted a similar style of painting a couple timed in the past. They were smaller – 5×7 and were good – however, I felt I’d only been lucky and felt no confidence in my ability to create such paintings. This painting represents a step forward for me. I certainly feel encouraged to try more. Next time, I hope to use fewer strokes and to make every stroke count.
I said, I’d see you on the other side of the election. Well, we have a new President. As you know, he is not the one I wanted. Courts have determined him to be a RAPIST and a convicted criminal. He’s been twice impeached and documented as a prolific liar and fraudster. Regrettably, e’s completely lacking in character. But, it is what it is. I won’t mention him again – he’s not worth it. I’m here to share my paintings.
Have a great weekend. Winifred
