Afternoon Still Life

I usually spend two or three weeks on every painting I do. Furthermore, most of them are portraits. Today I just wanted to zone out and enjoy myself. I asked my wife to set up a still life for me to paint. I sat down and did this in two or three hours. It was lots of fun. I wasn’t worried about what anyone thought about it. It wasn’t a commission or for a show. It was just for me to relax and have fun. I think artists should do that once in a while.
