Ball Jar and Marbles Revisited



Ball Jar and Marbles, 9 x 12, oil on board

The great thing about oil paintings is that you can make changes. I like that. This painting has been to shows and even won awards but I was never completely satisfied with it.

I recently returned the painting to the easel and reworked several of the marbles and the shadows. The changes are not drastic and I'm probably the only one who will notice but I like the painting better.
