painting 47 (still life in Portland)

This is a still life of a skull, leaves, and a plastic bag.  I really wanted to do more outdoor painting, but it was way too rainy and cold in Portland.  So my friend and I decided to paint a still life instead. We worked on this for about 9 hours total.  I actually had a lot of fun painting this.  It gave me a chance to take my time and not be rushed by the weather and lighting conditions.  I need to do more still lifes.  It helped me to focus on the subtleties and tonal changes of the values.  I'll definitely bring what I learned to the outdoors!
