We had another cloudy, overcast morning today. It's a nice change from the high heat we've had, but it makes it almost impossible to go outdoors and paint. Instead, I worked in the studio on my still life painting. I've had this idea in my head for a few days. I kept having this vision of a long orange peel hanging down. I thought it would be interesting to paint both the inside and outside of the peel as it curled around like a cork screw. The only problem is I don't know how to peel an orange like that. Most of my experience has been mostly to just remove the peel so I could eat the fruit. Artfully peeling the orange, as my wife put it, is a whole other skill set that I'm going to have to practice in order to do the painting in my head. For now, this is the best peeling job I can muster.
I'm teaching a still life painting workshop in just a few days at the Dutch Gallery in Dallas. The dates are June 21st and 22nd. There's still time to register and join in on the fun.
