I was more excited to paint this piece. In the paper one I hated the objects I was painting and it showed in my work. This subject matter was much more appealing to me and allowed me to work with a number of colors rather than a monochromatic piece would. Although not perfect, I think this piece is successful in showing what I was painting and that I enjoyed doing through how I was painting.

Monochromatic still life from painting 1.

I really did not enjoy painting this piece, and I think it shows. For me, I need to really stoked about the subject to make it come out the way I want it too and the way it should. So, maybe next time :]
