Halloween Posting

This original oil painting always generates interest from visitors to my studio. Seemed appropriate to post it for Halloween. It's different from my usual work. That's because someone else, a male, did the setup. My compositions tend to be on the feminine side. When I first painted it I thought it was ugly, but it grew on me and I like it a lot now.

Learning to paint is an evolving process. Still lifes are great for skill building and can be painted anytime as they're not impacted by the weather nor model schedules and time limits. They are not the most popular subject matter as far as sells go, but I enjoy painting them.
