Teabox and Kettle by Phillip Krivenko

I had a painters block today which does not happen very often.  I have so much inspiration around me, but that was not the problem. Sometimes an artist wants a new direction. Something to get real excited about. The muse was not with me today.  I was picking out a painting to do at one of my classes when I came across,”Teabox”. I have painted this subject in my classes several times in a 16x20 canvas. How would it look in a 6x6 size and how long would it take me. I can paint this particular painting with my eyes closed. I was right, Teabox on a 6x6 was an investment in time of only 45 minutes. A testament to practice and repetition. Will I sell it for less since because it took me less time? No!  My eBay starting bid is $49 click here to check out the auction.

GORGEOUS COLOR, BRUSHWORK AND REFLECTIONS--ALSO LIKE THE CROPPED COMPOSITION AND THE MOVEMENT.
