This was HARD!!! It took longer and a lot of adjusting. Today I put the finishing glazes on. I used a linseed medium to apply them and opening windows is a must. I do not know what I hate more the odor of varnish or mediums. I tried to use walnut oil but it didn't quite work as smooth as the mediums. 

Glazes are made with lots of medium and a little oil paint so they are transparent. Glazes can be used to unify areas where there are lots of color changes in them like the cloth. I used a low key warm violet glazes on the shadows of the cloth. That way they still have color changes in them but they do not stand out as the highlighted areas do.  I also use glazes to push areas back. The background color has a white glaze over it. The glaze dulls and lightens the dark color making it recede.  So now I am going to take a long walk and breath in some fresh air. Thanks for viewing my painting: Veggies. 

Original Oil Painting Harvey's Bloody Mary

We had a little get together a couple of weeks ago and my brother in law, Harvey was kind enough to serve his " Bloody Mary's ".  Harvey also brought some of his brother Bobbie's canned mushrooms. Since I am not a Bloody Mary drinker, I decided to take photos with the help of my niece, Amy. It was quite a family affair. Unfortunately Harvey had to wait to drink his because we were taking many photos with different compositions and lighting. This is the results! Thanks Harv for being such a good sport and letting me photograph your drink!
