I never got around to posting it. This is from life, a still life set-up done down at the Old Schoolhouse where we usually have our studio. I always think of it as more like a chapel because of the high ceilings and tall windows.
You can see two photos of the schoolhouse (from their website) below my painting.
Isn't it beautiful! If you ever want to take a great workshop, this is a great place to go.
