I felt the urge to paint something. The blue and orange combo is something I’m loving a lot more lately.
The texture is dressmakers pattern paper randomly set into the still wet gesso. I love texture!

I created this for my mother-in-law for a Mother’s Day and birthday gift. They have been so helpful with taking the kids so often lately while we are dealing with the changes in my folks life.
Once again I’ve recycled an old painting that I wasn’t completely happy with… I just poured the gesso on and started over. I think this is the 4th time I’ve used this same 18×24 canvas.
The lighting isn’t the best for the photo but I wanted to document it before giving it to her.
This is my very favorite photo of my Grandma.
I’ve used it many times in my art. As I age, I see myself reflected in her photo.

I know that at least 2 of my art friends are also participating.
I got some good advice on perspective and fixed my painting. (sorry the lighting is a little poor)
I had originally put the table in sort of wonky because my previous painting that also had a table always bugged me a bit as well. It appeared to be too flat like it was trying to climb up the wall. Now I know what’s wrong with that one as well. Not sure if that one would be as easy to fix.
I finished up my painting this morning.
I still need work on perspective. The table is bugging me because it seems like it is tipped up too far.
Anyone have any ideas for me for perspective…should the angle be bigger or smaller to make the table look flat?
