Today's painting in the "painting a day" series

What is a "Painting a Day"? It started a few years ago when a few artists began blogging their alla prima creations. The paintings are usually small, attractive still life subjects featuring ordinary objects executed in a direct expressive manner. I do not create one painting per day-- I work and am a little too busy to paint every day although it would be nice. I also like to work on some paintings for longer periods, over the course of a week or two. But this painting was completed in a couple hours, it is small at 6" x 7" and it is comprised of everyday objects.
