This sketch is directly and loosely painted using a restricted palette of 3 primaries plus black. I'm amazed by the range of color and value capable with this approach. This is one of the series, which I've named "Almost Honest"  and is about basic discoveries, and is a hoot !

In The Mirror....

I had planned to sketch some objects on my bathroom counter, when I looked up and saw my image in the mirror and changed the plan.  It still fits  into the Almost Honest category , so I painted it.

Scissors and Pens

I am working on a series in which I paint just what I see before me, not arranging the objects as in a traditional still life. These small works are almost drawings, using restricted color which emphases the basic "bones" of the painting.
