studio feb 10 (morandi) and pattern

Gsaxena, Still-life with spice jar, karua, & hanky from Nepal, Feb 10, 10"x 14"

I was looking at Morandi's still-life and simplified mine. The colors were so jarring before. I need to learn about warm and cool colors for shadows etc. Here is a still-life by Morandi (1890-1964)--an Italian painter.

Giorgio Morandi, Still life 1953, 8"x15 7/8", oils

I might redo the background on mine. Make it flatter and less wispy... perhaps.

This was my pattern painting today:

Gsaxena, remaining paint and more, feb 10, 28"x 24"

It is fun having two completely different methods to work on.
