I love Tuesday evenings because I get to paint with the Tuesday still-life group. It means turning on the computer and seeing a composition you might never have painted, except that a fellow painter thought it would make a terrific painting and set it up for the group. For example, tonight we painted a sewing table, pin cushion, scissors, and bolts of material. The sewing table was not my usual sort of subject, but, as it turned out, a fun choice to practice the artistic skills of simplifying, abstracting, and adjusting. It is good to be back home and painting with this group.
