Scooters and Cacti


I'm so fascinated by little Vespa Scooters. Every time I see a person driving one in the city, I want to ask them to pull over and share their toy so that every one gets a turn.
This is an acrylic still life I did for some friends that were getting married. I don't know why they needed a painting of cacti and kitchen items, but that what I painted. I finished a drawing course where we learned to draw still life. We worked it in graphite and Charcoal, but I wanted to apply what I learned in a different medium. I've seen these artist that do a little painting like this each day. I love the concept, though I haven't disciplined by self to paint that much. One thing that I enjoy about doing still life is everyday objects are transformed when I take the time to look at them and figure out how to draw them.
