MILK CAN • 36 inches x 24 inches • in progress

DAY FOUR: So far this morning I have gone around the entire painting to put the finishing touches of color on what I had already done.

Then I added some richer shades to the bricks on the porch floor.

It's time to paint the can! Here's all the shades of blue that I'll use.

Starting from the top...

I THOUGHT I'd get the can done in an hour or so. Maybe not...

Here I've outlined the different blocks of color.

Then I painted all the shapes and shadows that make up the handles...

The top is done! (for now at least)

The entire top half of the can--I love that strong shadow line cast by the sun. I had hoped the ENTIRE CAN would be done by now, but my goal may have been a little unrealistic.
