Post 266: Mahogany Humidor 1 and 2

Painting Name: Mahogany Humidor 1 and 2

I have occasionally looked at the canvas as being the object I am painting. What I mean is just like my most recent painting, "Charcuterie Board", the canvas is the board with all the meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts and everything else placed on the board. Not so long ago, I painted 2 "Gold Boxes" where the boxes look like a small glittery gold gift box with a bow on them. What I'm getting at is this canvas is now a cigar humidor.

What Brought About this Painting?

Sometimes a painting sells (thankfully) and I consider painting something else in the same theme. "Bourbon and Cigar" went on to a new home - I really liked that painting! Definitely a masculine feel to it of course. It was received very well at Open Space Arts - I know several people considered it, so that just feels like I need a similar themed painting, especially with Christmas and Arts Alive coming.

So this painting will be a glass-topped mahogany cigar humidor. Watch it has it progresses.

Painting in Progress Images…

Paintings never look good when they first start. The unfortunate thing about blog posts is that the first image on the blog is what naturally shows when you post on most social sites. I wonder if some people see "my latest painting of an artwork in progress" and that initial photo in all its unglorified dignity is all they see and they don't see the final product... Anyway, not something I can fuss with at the moment I suppose unless I reorganize the blog post later. Something to consider.

Post 265: Charcuterie Board

Painting Name: Charcuterie Board

They say, "Don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach". I think the same could pretty much be said when painting, but along these lines, "when painting food, make sure you eat a good meal(s) while you are painting it". Good golly, Miss Molly, I am hungry!

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

Sometimes I wake up in the morning with a subject in my head to paint. For whatever reason, I woke up with "cheese". And what's a great way to have cheese? A charcuterie board. You know the song from Julie Andrews, "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things". Well, there ya go. And the farther the painting gets, the more I want to rummage the cheese section at Wegmans.

Painting in Progress Images…

Watch the painting as it progresses! I started the background yesterday, Tuesday, August 16, 2022. Let's see how far I can get today...

Thursday, August 18, 2022 5:24 AM Progress! The board is filling up.

Thursday, August 18, 2022 1;20pm 

Thursday, August 18, 2022 7:52 pm I think its  done. I'll have to eyeball it again in the morning to make sure.

So who is coming over to help me eat all this?

Friday, August 19, 2022 8:27am - With the am light shining on "Charcuterie Board" I added some mostly tiny tweaks. (Morning rays of sunshine on the canvas are not painted on.)

Varnish and a wire up next and Charcuterie Board is ready to hang!
