My year-long journey of learning to oil paint. The quest: 300 paintings in 2019. It will require near-daily attention. Progress, lack of progress, fun, not fun, rewarding, not rewarding....stumbling blocks, moments to toss it all, but also moments of great joy! But the learning part....the intention is to record it here.

#54 3/12/19 Date Night
Dave and I met downtown Frederick for dinner after work. The restaurant: Lazy Fish. The menu: sushi. The atmosphere: romantic. Dave, who rarely drinks wine, ordered a Pinot Grigio. I wanted to brag to my cousin Lori, who was vacationing in St. Martin, that she was missing a new restaurant event with wine and sushi....as if St. Martin's might come up short! This is a portion of the photo I sent her. I cropped out the wine glass because it was reflecting colors like crazy. I left Dave's elbow. It is the "mystery" in the painting, "what is that shadow on the left?" I spent way too much time on this one, kept trying to get the colorfulness just right and kept turning it into a smudgy mess. This is where I left it. I will likely go back once it begins to dry a bit, and put down some more color on the glass.
