This started out to be a simple still life to demonstrate painting round objects and glass bottles. I decided to use the "great white shape" idea, even though it was just a simple little picture. I need the practice.
Comments from my very picky husband include the idea that no one will know what that odd white shape in the background is. If you paint you'll figure it out--it's the back side of my pallette. His other comment was that I didn't put all the detail from the labels, and the bottle cap wasn't perfect.
You do have to be careful painting bottles--if they aren't perfectly symmetrical, it shows.
The M & M's were an afterthought to cover up a spot on the paper, but they were fun to paint.
Can't think of what to name it--maybe "Life's Little Pleasures."

Hi Chris,
Fascinating still life. Check out cropping off a bit of the w/c lid right above the cap, then crop the right side so the right hand red M&M gets nicked and the 2 brown ones cut in half. That would help move the bottle out of the center. Enjoy the holiday.
