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.
