Worked on all of Still Life 18. Still work to do on this one. I don’t have much confidence that this one will turn out well. Like Still Life 15, it has a big blank and dark area. I’m thinking of putting a window or small vase with a flower there standing out in the dark. Maybe an orchid.

Worked on Still Life 18. Right now I’m not so happy with this painting. Hopefully, I can save it the next session.
Worked on mostly the table and a little of the background of Still Life 18.

Finished the second step of all still life paintings. Next I will try to finalize the backgrounds and tables of all paintings. I don’t think that will take a long time. Then the glasses, bottles, and apples.
Began Still Life 18 and finished the first step of all thirteen still life paintings. There are two groups of similar still life paintings, the four lighter, pale greenish with shadows from blinds paintings, and the nine darker paintings. For each of the next stages, I should be able to work on two to three paintings a day, working on similar colored bottles, glasses, apples, backgrounds, and tables. The bottles, glasses, and apples aren’t very big. I’m thinking I’ll paint the bottles, glasses, and apples in more detail, finish the backgrounds and tables, and then finish up the bottles, glasses, and apples. These paintings are training for the clear streams I will start painting when I finish these paintings. I am going to begin a larger painting of a sailboat sailing on cobalt-blue sea swells. All of these are to be gifts if they turn out. For a couple of weeks, I have been playing with the AI image generator, changing parameters and varying the resulting images trying to find a suitable image of a sailboat on rough cobalt seas.
So far I like this one but with more water added to the left-hand side of the image.
