Day two hundred and two: Keeping it simple this fine Thursday evening, I quickly painted my salt shaker and pepper mill. One is old and short, while the other is tall and new. Yet I think of them as a set because their curved shapes are strikingly similar, and the painted red mill shares affinity with the dark cherry wood of the shaker. I chose to sketch them because I wanted something straight-forward and easy, but the subject and the exercise reminded me that the simple things in life have a lot of joy (and flavor!) to offer.
