January 8, Mug On Green

Yes, I am terribly creative when it comes to naming my paintings aren't I?  If you have a better idea, please let me know!  This one was deceptively tricky-  it's such a great practice to paint something so simple because there are an awful lot of decisions to be made when looking at this.  Which area is darker?  The lighting is from above, undirected, and rather sloppy so there's not any one area that's highlighted... so I really had to look to figure out the tones on this.  And it is much more pastel-y than I usually paint... a bit like spring right when we're heading into the coldest weekend here in Minnesota in a while~
 Hmmmm... another auction, I think~
