Step by Step.

 "There is no one giant step that does it, it's a lot of little steps". Peter A. Cohen

 I have never done a work in progress like you see on blogs a lot. Step by painful step.
But might as well do one for the record.

 This is a Trompe L'oeil called Le Pate after Jean Baptiste Oudry. I had done this one years and years ago but this was a request so did it again. Have to admit I have not painted in a few years so, something different. Keeps the old brain from getting tics, hopefully...






This one below was done long ago and I found it  on Google. Not the best lighting. For sure, it was not that yellow. I would love to see them side by side. See how close I came each time...

Let me know what you think. 
AND I would love for you to sign up for my NEWSLETTER - don't worry, I won't bombard your inbox. I am about as good at newsletters as I am at blogging. But...I have surprises up my sleeve so I would not want you to miss anything.

Mini Love,

    Just for fun I ran that color distorted image through Adobe Photoshop auto color correction feature and it came out looking like the original must have done. It completely removed all the yellow cast.
