3 Shiny Objects

• My goals and intentions for this art piece were to paint the objects without any detail and to match all of the different shades of blue.
• I accomplished my goals by using the primary blue paint and I looked only at the shapes on the objects and not the details.
• I was surprised at how easy it was to paint the nail polish bottle and how hard it was to make the different shades of blue.
• The most difficult challenge was creating the different shades on the airplane and creating the shadow.
• I met that challenge by color matching my patches of paint and I was very careful with my curves in my shadow.
• I experienced the shift from right brain to left brain when I focused on the shapes and no the details of the objects.
• This picture really works with the nail polish and the cup.
• An artist that inspired me was Peggi Kroll with her fascination for ordinary, everyday, small objects.
• Something I learned for my next painting was to make the background more solid and to make the airplane shading more definite.
• If I have a do-over I would men the background more solid.
• I feel the best things are the nail polish and the cup.
