May 15th, 2014: Oil on Board, 6" x 6". This quartz crystal has been hanging around our house for years, its' current home is in a potted plant but I cleaned it up and made it the star subject today. It is always a challenge to paint something so close to the background color and still make it stand out. I really like how simple and monotone it is, even though it's something right from nature it almost feels industrial to me in the end.
