Cookie Jar Painting
I am often asked how I find things to paint every day. I never have any trouble finding something to paint. There are just so many things all around that I want to try to paint. From time to time I will set up an area with my camera and shoot lots of photos of “common” things for reference photos. I recently did this with a cookie jar that had been given to my parents as a wedding gift and that my mom gave to me years ago. I always have fond memories of it because Mama always had it sitting on the breakfast bar in the kitchen with something good in it for us when we got home from school each day. I treasure that cookie jar.
