This is one of the first still life paintings I ever did, albeit with some help from the teacher who I remember was Sue Coleman. She brought in various object to each class and we all tried to make a painting of them. There is a technique in the cloth where small drops of water were added to create shapes. From the look of it, the teacher did that part because it took me years to really master and control that technique. The paper was rather thin, an acid-free rag paper in a spiral note book made by Bienfang premiere collection. Thinking of mom today, it was her and my late grandmother who bought all of the art supplies for me early on the hobby. I just scanned this today, part of several bags and portfolios full of old paintings that bring back memories.
9 x 12" watercolour, hot press. 1989
