Snack

"Bedtime Snack," oil on panel, 6x8

For a few days I've been reviewing old still life paintings and studies while considering new work. This one came up, but I can't remember where it is--sold, lost, or otherwise.

Like many painters, I sometimes lose track of works from the past. Here's another still life from a long while back, when the genre occupied much of my time. My file says this was one of a series of small studies I did to work on color. Although many think milk is white, it's actually a high-value dull yellow. This sketch probably took no more than ninety minutes, painted alla prima. Alas, current location is unknown.
