This painting shows a bit of insight into how I painted one of my earlier successful paintings from 2012. The first Hershey miniature piece won two awards and helped me get representation through McCormick Gallery in Chicago... so I decided to revisit the subject. The post-it note will repeat the words that constantly run through my mind as I'm painting - Sharper, Straighter, Cleaner.
With all the commission work completed, I've started working on some new paintings. The piece below is meant to show a different perspective of the painting, sort of a glimpse of the process. The subject matter is painted as though you are looking at it from an angle and the panel shape replicates the perspective. I constructed the frame to appear as though it is being viewed from an angle as well (I'll have pictures later).

The other painting I have going on is a small round painting of a Coca-Cola bottle cap from the 40's. The frame is round too. For extra difficulty, I'm going to paint water droplets over the entire painting. I've wanting been want to try to paint beads of water for a while and I think it will add a bit of interest and beauty to this Coke cap. You can see in the images below I have my photo references of what I hope the finished painting will look like. I feel the water is going to be time consuming. For now I've got just the first layer on the painting.
