I’ve been wanting to do this composition for quite some time now, but I kept putting it off because I was intimidated by the glass dish. Well, these baby tangerines wouldn’t keep any longer so I had no choice but to do it. Surprisingly, this painting was fun and I didn’t come across any difficulties at all.

I tried out a smoother painting board for “Three Tomatoes” which I made by sanding the last layer of gesso. I’m not sure if I like painting on this any better than on the unsanded board. I will have to try it out some more before I conclude anything, but the paint did feel so much more fluid on it.

A big fish we bought fresh from the market several years ago came with this hook. I save the most unusual things.

Daily Painting #227 – A Bowl of Rice
(Click image for larger version)
Oil painting on gessoed matboard
Approximately 5.5 x 5.5 inches — 14 x 14 cm
Not for Sale
I’ve come to accept that finishing one painting each and every day would mean that some of these will not always turn out the way I hoped for.
One of those which did not turn out very well was this bowl of rice. I had a very difficult time painting the rice realistically, in addition to the bowl.
But with every painting, be it a failure or a success, there are always lessons to be learned. What I learned as a result of this painting was that I really should take the extra time to analyze the subject carefully…and that those colorful little dots on the chopsticks were so much fun to paint!

Pears have always been very difficult for me to paint, but with every new attempt, I find that I know the subject a little more and that brings me hope that the next pear painting I do will turn out much better.

Cake may be my second most favorite treat…next to ice cream. We usually make our own simple version from cake mix which come in boxes, but I think this was the first time I’ve eaten one which had all the extras — cherry, icing and all.

Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Faith Te and I am a painter from the Philippine Islands.
On June 20, 2009, I began creating small-sized daily paintings as a way to learn more about oil paints as well as to improve speed and skill. I started this blog to record and showcase these daily oil paintings.
If you want to be notified each time a new painting is added to this blog, please enter your e-mail address above.
In addition, I also do realistic portraits using graphite and charcoal pencils. You may view my pencil drawings on my web site, Artistic Realism.
