Glass Shaker

Wanted to try painting glass - I did it once before when I first started. It was a salt shaker and my first "good" painting.

This is a cheese shaker I think. I've had it in my cabinet for years and I don't think I've ever used it for anything. It finally found a purpose.

Self-Portrait

My first painted self-portrait. I have done a couple of drawings, one of which made me look 80, hopefully this doesn't.

Reflections 2

I wanted to try painting white objects as well as reflections and it was a lot of fun. The ultimate challenge would be white objects on a white background. Maybe later.

Next up - can't decide between another reflection themed painting or attempting my first self-portrait (in a painting).

Reflections

I only painted two paintings before I got my studio. One was a still life that included a vintage chrome drink pitcher. The painting wasn't very good but I really liked doing the reflections on the pitcher. That was 18 years ago, but I kept it - probably to remind myself that art is important in my life and so, after 14 years, I finally started painting. 

I was looking it at the other day and it inspired me to try a series of paintings with reflections. Here's the first one - another vintage item, but this is a little individual serving teapot:
