My first Painting

Here is my very first oil painting done sometime in mid 1987. After painting the 'shot glass' next to the fruit, it all looked out of whack/distorted/some thing's wrong. The painting just didn't sit well with me. I then asked my daughter, Laura, what she thought about it. She studied it and also agreed it didn't look right. After knocking our heads together, she suggested to lengthen the shot glass. I tried it, and as you can see from the finished painting, the taller glass made the picture gel. In the event that I may not have thanked her, I do it now. "Thank you Laura." Love, Dad. XXXX
