Not Alla Prima

not alla prima still life
9" x 12" Oil on panel. This is a larger still life that I've been working on over several sittings. I thought I would give you a peek at the work in progress.

Great post! You have been awarded a tag, BTW. The Roualt quote is funny, too.

I'm sorry to hear you're closing your etsy shop - I'll gather my pennies and see if I can manage a purchase, because your work is wonderful.

I'm curious about the reason - is it that Etsy has become so cluttered that it's easy to be overlooked?

R Chunn said...

That's one of reasons, Sarah, and the fact that Etsy seems to be more about selling clothes, soap, and stuff animals rather than original artwork. Although, artists selling inexpensive prints are doing well, I think.
