I'm sure you can imagine the amount of time it took to get these cups to stay balanced like this, even for a few minutes while I gingerly moved to photograph. I tried photographing about 50 different configurations with very little luck and lots of crashes. I'm not kidding when I say it took me three days of effort to get something I could work with. I am eager to be able to get out to scrounge for unusual cups to paint.

It is obvious I missed a few days here and there, and at a certain point, the little paintings were piling up and I felt that my time was better spent painting larger paintings. For a long time, I did not number the larger ones, but then at some point decided to take advantage of DPW's venue. I have enjoyed this time so much---not only posting, but being in the company of so many fine artists, experienced and novices alike. I have met so many wonderful people, some who have become friends across the miles. It is so nice to be part of a community, even if it is online.
DPW has given me the opportunity to try new subjects and experiment with techniques I have learned from other artists by studying their work. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who would like to grow with their art. Here is a picture of my first painting, Hello, It's Nice to Meet You.
