Summer squash

I am working on composition in still life paintings. It is more challenging then the painting-a-day series. I spent hours on Sunday moving objects around to compose this painting. A workshop with Liz Geiger at Beverly Street Studio really helped me understand the work that needs to be done before the painting begins. I actually spent more time composing and drawing than I did on the painting.
