I set up this terrific still life in my studio. I loved the subtle colors of the pot and background with the bright contrast of the garlic. I first painted this in oil and got bogged down with the middle of the painting blues. I had a student working in pastel who was also enamored of the still life. I worked beside her and found that working in pastel renewed my vision of the painting. Thus I have posted on my website two versions of the mottled pot and garlic from two different views and different mediums.
