Challenge List
I have been tagged by Lorraine Shirkus to list paintings in the following categories. It was a great exercise to go back through the work and evaluate it more objectively than you can right after you finish one.
Thanks, Lorraine!
This painting was the most beautiful, in a traditional way. Pansies in the Mirror, 6 inches square.

This was the most popular painting with the most responses. Radish Finale, 10 inches square
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxlKl0yD5yI5us6SyEW1cvFekXJyO_rxIWZcTLlTnqJvSY0Rwzu-n7RUU0mwNIxo_dFqJEc5_Pi8NsfAvYsN7H_-axKS2p9vBur_7TURhSaA2feX9b8UKmMQOfS3sJQekWmfZgott93zI/s400/Radish-Finale.jpg)
This is supposed to be the most controversial category, but I don't think I have done anything controversial for which I am very sorry. So I have altered it to be The Most Fun. This was fun because I wrote a Haiku for it and everyone left comments in Haiku. Hilarious. Belligerent Eclair, 6 inches square
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXtZSMT-235xw3_WTPGpUYhVZEk9F_bzcMgrY2qY1S2Wgo5SLfcmuUGCU78yvM5WyAhotMh6I8oDvXyKW2o1PVCO4kDLX0kCiHjCr2eXWJ-1HFqqV2Rx4ZCpIX47Rk9-A1yXU95Po11rI/s400/Eclaire.jpg)
This is the painting that might have been the most helpful. I am a little cloudy on this category.
I figure it must mean helpful to others. It is the last in a series of 10 paintings of this damned plastic bowl with an impossible curving square lip. Plastic Bowl Number 10, 8x6 inches.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFg8IVO5aAnfKb_mAxFhS5aoJbToDrjocYNEUf3Es8aWNYVKkxI8Ru_HwGtjI-O6zOLHvL6mawYiC-dV6b0bkegOIGMSDDFMaYSqkn_L7XvyV_4pQAh-8_UUSVyGHmCsVD_me5H5gOlI/s400/Plastic-Bowl-Number-10.jpg)
This is the painting whose success surprised me. There were lots of encouraging and appreciative comments. Blue Green Still Life, 6 inches square
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvNEJIqHvRu2qgq4rhSb23YBlukPEpqq_DYQ1p3AOUzGHjKdDsHc_KcVCEg_wQyyr9Xp5cDDJkeZPlM2zhi0E9VZHOAj8VmYNWVV9VKVtvLbmyyunZD8fpMAbhuc6nUD96Vo-dHl2oik/s400/Still-life-blue-green.jpg)
This is the painting that didn't get the attention it deserved. I was very proud that it carried itself abstractly, realistically and colorifically. I know that's not a word, but you know what I mean. Light Socket and Pink Box, 6 inches square
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIPAbxgEAFcvrIePSH2YLAw6CreUtlpxJjE7vu7k0p6i5F8bRqoFWFZ3G42kxQVKYJya19QiCyXZaSHfYR8m3S5_REk-m1HkcnagjAe4jo7mcx_bdH-PLPtM2wOlXts43ccPIUbjKlA6U/s400/light-socket-red-line.jpg)
This is the painting I'm the most proud of: The Nose, 8x6 inches

Mug Twelve

I rarely see the crime listed with the mugshot, but this time I went to a criminal speciality, gang crimes, and found this guy. He was so serene, like a Hindu god. The background he came with was a deep cobalt blue which I loved and intended to use, but I did a yellow wash on the panel before I started and then I was feeling he needed a sort of religious golden surface behind him, to emphasize his perfect equilibrium.

Mug Shot 11
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMszm3BOdz2tiwBbXCYQSJDBZ2aEnaBMdQU5UFWPcX8Mfv9WidpCtHCfPJ4AtmqtY0TrmbmYGQigMivILXe6UL8O3RyVz3Az6AycGfn3XvPEddJdgJ9dSVWdNfVLsdJB2vc3LFg9ftHE/s400/Mug-11--2.jpg)
In this one I used a huge flat brush for the most part, with some effort to find larger planes of color and get that down in minimum stokes. I sort of forgot my intention as I worked, but it was a good beginning. These mug shots are great for practice -- maybe like running sprints, not that I have ever run one, but I think it might help mesh all the necessary skills.
