Clothespin, 5×7″, oil on panel. Purchase here.

Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and since my ability to concentrate is the first thing to go when I get sick, painting was the last thing on my mind. Anyway, this is a quick painting, only 40 minutes, and I think it’s pretty successful, although I might need a bit of dark at the bottom of the clothespin’s corner in shadow to help anchor it down and give it a little bit more weight. It seems to float around a bit in the shadow area where it doesn’t have that dark anchor of the shadow line…

Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with it. Remember you can always purchase these paintings on my etsy site, 1sqft.etsy.com.
