I love painting reflections on a glass surface, the lights generally reflect darker and the darks reflect lighter...same with reflections on water. It's one of those things I love about painting. You just need to trust your eye to know how to mix a color that you are seeing.</div>

I'm back at it with A Painting a Day....well, hopefully at least 3X a week as my schedule allows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have missed the discipline of completing a small painting in a day. My last post was in 2012 and during the interim a lot has transpired. 2012-2016 I had a beautiful gallery with space for my easel to paint in downtown Ketchum. I represented 5 nationally known bronze sculptors and while I loved having the gallery I wasn't getting much of my own painting done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to keeping my blog up to date and check out what other artists are up to.</div>

D is for Dill Pickle. My favorite brand. I used to make cold pack pickles but it is hard where I live to get fresh cucumbers and dill. Plus, the last few batches I made, something went wrong...several quarts ended up spoiling, as if the vinegar or something had changed. Did everything the way I always had...oh, well. These fill the bill nicely...crisp and garlicky!</div>

Some time ago I painted a similar arrangement of egg yolks and was looking forward to using them again in this Alphabet series. </div>

I'm feeling relieved to have this series completed..will post Z in a moment.</div>

I hope you have enjoyed following along with this challenge of 26 paintings in as many days.</div>

Art Tip # 26 The Illusion of glass or metal or <em>anything </em></div>
<div align="center">
Very simple really. Override what your brain is telling you and paint what your eyes see in the set up.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Look for shapes, mix the color of that shape and lay it down, leave it alone. Mix and paint all the little shapes you see, starting with the big shapes, working down to smaller shapes (save highlight shapes for last..these will be juicy little blobs of paint. When you have your shapes or patches of paint down and are ready to blend one shape with another, do so very lightly, barely touching the edges of the two colors you are blending. Don't keep going over and over...you flatten and create mud, taking the life out of the brushstrokes you have layed down. </div>

ABC Mini painting challenge "W" is for watermelon. Best part...the black seeds. I do appreciate seedless watermelons and was a reluctant watermelon eater as a kid because I didn't like dealing with the seeds. We'd sit on the back porch and spit them out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you tried watermelon salad with black olives and feta cheese? Delicious. You can check for the recipe on AllRecipies.com my favorite recipe cite. This salad is super easy and especially refreshing on a hot evening. Goes well with bar-b-que.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ABC Mini Challenge painting "V" is for Valencia orange. A high key composition, simply designed. I wanted the focus to be on the juicy orange slices without background distractions.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next time I paint orange or lemon slices from life I will keep a spray bottle of water handy...however once I realized the hot lights were going to dry things out it made me paint faster..a goal I continually work on.

ABC mini challenge "T" is for Tapitio & Tobasco. What's your favorite hot sauce? In our house Tapitio is the favorite but I still prefer Tobasco when I make Deviled Eggs...and I use a lot. I mash the egg yolks with mayo, white pepper, Tobasco..quite a bit of mayo so they are good and creamy.</div>
