Little Bits of Fall

 

Little Bits of Fall by Tia Petty

This is the first oil painting completed in more than two months. I was doing other art, which I'll share with you all at a later post. The pumpkin was a gift, and such a beautiful orange, it screamed 'paint me!' 

A couple of years ago, I found this lovely little paint box on eBay. It was made by R. Abbey from England. He made these little boxes for his wife, and eventually made it for the surrounding art shops. Funny, it ended up in a Colorado art shop, and has been used ever since.

Also different, is the discovery of how amazing shadow boxes are. It is really helpful in focusing and setting the stage for art. After all these years of painting, it's one of those things you find out many decades later.
