End of May

There was no Thursday Group yesterday due to construction (roof repair) at the Atlanta Artists Center. Instead I worked on a still life of some coffee cups (thanks to my parents). A visit last weekend to DC and the Phillips' Gallery Morandi exhibit renewed my interest in still lifes. I'll post this and others' work from this week soon.
