In-Class Still Life

This was a still life in my painting class that we spent about 3 class periods working on. The collection of objects was set up in the center of the room, the students all in a circle facing it, so everyone was rending it from a different angle. My class found the composition of my painting especially amusing, affectionately naming it "Mount Junk." So far, this is the best painting I have done as far as rendering different textures with paint is concerned. It was even hung up in the Illustration building for the semester. Aren't I a winner.
