OLIVES!!

Today's painting was great, it took a little longer than the last few daily paintings, but was worth the trouble. The subject is one I've been wanting to do for a long time, not the olives, but something canned. I love the highlight on the glass, all the stuff inside the jar, packed in like passengers on a Central American bus (been there, I should know!) The green of a green olive isn't quite "green" in the way one would assume, there's a lot of yellow and some orange in it, pale and not so strong a green as one would think. As always, this was a good learning experience.
