Above is a still life test I created last year for the holiday season. Here were my goals:
1) A well detailed subject that will push me creatively.
2) Capture the holidays in one painting including the warmth of family.
3) Add some color and try not to use too much black to keep a painterly appeal.
I painted a pumpkin for Halloween, Nuts for harvest for Thanksgiving and a home-made Christmas drink as a gift. I used warm colors and added a fireplace for hearth and family. I kept the organization in order with the calendar. I really like how it came out overall and learned to use the brushwork with a more comfortable ease on this one. Hope you like it.
