Blue Bowl # 3

    So here is the next in the series of blue bowls a simple still life with two tomato's from our last years summer garden .

   The painting started out larger at the bottom as I had a drawer with a small round handle, I just could not resolve the composition problems it presented to the over all painting so I decided to crop it out of the bottom half of the painting.

   Composition is something we all struggle with, tweaking here , extending there until it seems to work. No matter how we may follow the rules it all comes down to how we as individuals see it, a feeling more than anything else.

   So onto the next in the series of the blue bowl, although I may break for a couple of landscapes I am dying to do for a little variety. Hope you enjoy and here's  to painting with you soon as I lift my glass and sit back for a  short repose.
