still life of clay jug and oranges


untitled
Watercolor, 2011
10" x 18"
Gift to Dave Ruble

This still life was done during a class at the Art Students League of Denver in the watercolor class taught by Dennis Pendleton. I took my time making sure the drawing was correct then quickly washed in the colors. I like the looseness of the washes, the blooming, and the colors, all were happy circumstances by a beginner. 

My dad liked this one. I gave this to my friend Carrie who was brave enough to hang an early Chickadee painting I gave at a White Elephant Christmas exchange. (Thank you Carrie for your support!)
