Quitting Time

Here's the painting at the end of the evening. I'm not happy with the reflections on the carafe, so I will probably rework it tomorrow. Note that the lower left half of the painting below the diagonal seems wet, while the upper right half is dry. Before I applied any paint, I "oiled out" the areas where I planned to work by applying a thin coat of medium, in this case Neo Megilp. Oiling out gives a uniform working surface and assists in blending.
