904 Italian Oranges on a Ledge

On a hot October day, my husband and I climbed the steep hill in Sorrento to have lunch and to see the sights.  I was happy to find this little vignette among all the grand scenes.  I love the drippy glaze on the bowl.

741 Selfie

I suppose the title of this painting should be "Former Selfie" since this is a reference photo taken 5 years ago.  I wish I could say I haven't aged since then, but that would be a lie.  I thought it would only be fair to paint a self-portrait since I have bombed a few family portraits.  I wondered if it would be easier or more difficult to paint myself.  It was just as difficult, even though I see that mug in the mirror every day.  I need to make some adjustments to the larger painting but will do so tomorrow.
