I thought I'd try to do a quick, simple floral still life today. I'm pretty happy with it, however I wish I put my brush down a half hour earlier. I'm slowly learning to paint faster and smarter.

Well, here's my second attempt of this composition after wiping down yesterday's painting and changing the colors and lighting a little bit. I try not to let the wipe downs bother me but it's hard not to think of all of the time and effort spent on trying to make it work. I guess it's all a learning process that is supposed to make me a better painter, right?

There's something about glass in still life set ups that I just really like. It's always a challenge to paint what you see and not what you think it should look like.
