Still Life Art

Ok, maybe I won't make my living as an artist, but it's fun trying. Tonight we practiced painting still life. Our instructor, Barb, draped a sheet of navy broadcloth over a chair placed stragetically on a desk and set two smaller pieces of pottery in front of a jar containing dried grass - very similar to what you see below. It took a bit more concentration and even though I was left to turn out the lights, this is what I brought home.
