... forced

 (6x8)

More attempts to keep my hand in.
I'm ready to move on to another subject; these are getting stale ... But haven't discovered what that subject might be yet!
Spending some (a lot!) of time right now making swatches of ALL the colors in my possession: a mind- and studio-clearing project!

I love these. I was interested to see that Danny Gregory did
an entire sketchbook of sketches of one cup and saucer.
Each sketch looked different even though it was of the exact
same thing. That gave me permission to work on the same
subject more than once.

XOXOXOXOXO Barbara

Thank you, Barbara. I'll have to look for Danny Gregory's book.
I often enjoy painting the same thing more than once; though I find there's always a point at which I lose a little engagement with it.

Not stale at all.

I've learned a lot from working on the same setup over and over, too. I love the blue ones but that second is very interesting and kept me looking longer to see the shapes and how you placed everything :)

Beautiful work! I love the different approaches to the same theme!
