Two workshops ago, a student of mine had one of these gorgeous golden trays. Apparently I exclaimed over it enough that she ended up sending me one for my very own after the workshop - thank you, Donna! I thought it would be a snap to compose with, but I actually had quite a hard time working it in. It took an hour or more to come up with this simple composition (then longer to actually paint it) - this after another attempt a few weeks ago went south. I still think I could do better, and will continue to try things with it. It's a challenge for sure!
Speaking of gifts, many thanks to Jan at my last workshop who gave me this little pig (and a bird, which you'll see later)! I will admit, the pig was pretty easy to work into the composition. He stepped right up to confront these apples, and that was that.
