#289 and #290 Teacup and Lipstick 3/28/20

Took another break, working too hard to prep the lab for the pandemic.  But this weekend I painted, and it felt good!  I sketched things myself, and just put 'er down.  I might not live through the pandemic, this changes how important details are.  The cup had painted-on flowers, but I decided nope, I'm leaving them off.  Now that I look at the photo, I might touch up things a bit tomorrow.  And probably the day after that, and the day after that....the Wallace painting from December has turned me into a perpetual re-toucher.  I'm not sure it's a good thing.

Next up was some lipstick.  I went to the drug store with the hubby a few months back to pick up some prescriptions.  While he was waiting for the drugs, I perused the make up aisle, and decided to stage a few photographs with some pretty lipsticks...then some fingernail polish.  I imagined these on a small 5x5 canvas, but for some reason today they went down on a larger 7x9 canvas.  It was pre-painted red.  So the pinks came out lovely.  Now that I contemplate the photo-shoot, akin to the pandemic, it's kind of gross that lipstick isn't sealed.  Kind of gross that I just willy-nilly took the lids off, twisted the lipsticks up, took a picture, twisted the lipsticks down, recapped them and put them back.  What was I thinking???
