01/24/2015 Daily Painting

I was scheduled to go to Engine in Biddeford for a painting session. It started snowing heavily so I decided to work in the studio instead. I gessoed seven canvases and worked on a painting that I started on Friday to prep for the painting session for today. This is what I had completed by 3 PM. I wasn't satisfied because the cup and the table was the same value.

I darkened the table and lightened the background, basically reversing what was on the canvas before. This is still a work in progress as the background needs further definition and the cup needs more detail.
