Not an Egg

A porcelain chicken and a tomato were the items I grabbed from the kitchen, after walking the dog tonight.  I kept this pretty raw and followed my muses.  The background blue was put in last.  This is an opaque blue, that is pretty bright, but you see its deepest value.  I liked the transparent shadow but had to glaze the blue into the shadow to keep them on the table.  The shadow under the chicken is still taking on a life of its own. Usually I would work something like that over again, but not tonight.

I am having fun with the just doodling.  As an artist I strive for a perfection and a quality of work.  Not having to care so much leaves my efforts open to just pure experimentation and play.  It is a good thing.
