Day 20: "Artifacts"

Yesterday I had only a little canvas so I decided to paint with a small brush and go for realism.

 

It looks even more realistic in person. From a few feet away it's almost a photograph.

The children and I find a lot of broken pieces of Colonial-era china in the river, so I lined them up around this big snail shell we also found. 

I like the effect. I'm going to paint more shards today.
