I am winding up the first 25 and for the last 4 thought I'd focus on some smaller objects that I wanted to try to paint.
For #21 I zoomed in on a bulb of garlic. I don't think I zoomed in quite enough. Next time I'll sit closer too.
For #22, the zooming in worked out a bit better. I stuck with main values and didn't get detracted by each individual line on the clam shell's pattern. This one was a fun break from apples and tea.
#23, I went for a fun, hang-the-grapes-off-the-table-edge setup. But then I got into playing with the grapes and killed off the values in a slow and painful death. Or as my Cricket was happy to chirp in my ear, "It was good Mom, and now it's gray!" I'll listen next time!
#24 back to tea. It's what I know and love! I went a bit too dark with the value in the glass, but I like how the lid turned out and the wooden honey-dipper (what are those called anyway?). And I like the way I got the metal lid and bottom edge of the tea tin.

Next up, #25 and a benchmark!
