This is my latest painting in oil...  Persimonn, acorn squash and  copper pitcher  20 x 12 canvas  - oil. This is my Still Life 39 of Dan Edmondson workshop.    This first quarter of 2012 has been very exciting and stressfull. I'm posting this entry from D.C. where I'm living for the next 2 years. I got accepted to Howard University College of Dentistry  International Dentist program , which will give me my 2nd DDS degree and open many more opportunities in the dental field.  I sold two paintings to my good friend Bill, and that was very neat - and I promptly decided to paint the next still life. I was to go forward to #10, but I went to my own composition instead.   It is one of my best so far, I;m so happy. Hopefully I will be able to paint more in the next 2 years.
