30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 21 - Butter - SOLD

"Butter" - 5 x 7 inches - oil on paper

Overall, I think this is a very pleasing painting with the yellow and soft blue colors.  I especially like how the butter knife came out in this one.  Painting metal is always fun but can be tricky; it usually takes a bit of manipulation until I'm satisfied.  The trick is adding enough darks so that the lights really pop.

  2. Love this. It reminds me of the first painting of butter I saw of Peggy Kroll Roberts at a Hilton Head Gallery. And you really nailed the values in the knife. Great painting.
