calla lily painting

i started an oil painting sunday. it is of my pot of calla lilies. i didn't have a fresh canvas, so i painted over a dismal failure. i painted the background a dark blue and black. i think i like chiaroscuro. i think it is my "thing". (c. is when the background is very dark, usually black, and the subject is dramatically lit. for all you un-arty people) well, i got a few highlights painted on the pot and it looks like a calla lily at midnight. it is weird how nice it looks. of course, i got to work on it barely an hour and haven't touched it since. now i have to go upstairs and change a smelly diaper and make really awesome cookies. no time to paint. maybe tomorrow. no rush. i might really muck it up tomorrow. no delete button in painting. or the command+z that i love.
