"Cherry spoon"

11" x 12-1/4"
Oil on masonite

Painting number one from the OPM paintout last weekend. I couldn't find a good angle I liked to incorporate more of downtown Minneapolis into the scene like I would have liked. I ended up setting up right on a sidewalk. I couldn't believe the amount of people that come to see this thing and take pictures of it. I suppose they were thinking they couldn't believe how many painters paint this thing as well. We were scattered all around it and everyone, save one or two, was painting the sculpture. Water shoots out the top of the stem and into the pond. That is the second highlight just right of the base of the spoon, water sprinkling down.
