Allium4

Today I made an excursion to The Brandywine River Museum. I saw a few works I haven't seen by Andrew Wyeth before, including a watercolor of a metal tankard sitting on a windowsill, painted on a thank you letter written by A. Wyeth, it was a wonderful treat. I also saw a Tempera by N.C. Wyeth of an island in Maine that was wonderful (Whale Island might have been the title.) My eyes are always pleased to feast on the works in this museum.

Here I started laying in the white table top, getting the bottle ready for a transparent glaze or scumble and laying down the first parts of the shell. The painting seems to be moving along, and it's letting me know which parts need attention and in which order.
