My Cupboard

This is the first in a series of interior found still lifes around my condo.  I am doing this because I am not able to go outside to draw and paint as I wish and as much as I try I dislike painting from photos.  So, I chose to start with the place I start every day - the cupboard.  This is where I make my coffee.  In fact, I started the drawing with my favorite coffee mug, a gift from Denise, dead center and grew the drawing around it. I used a number two pencil, very sharp, and used as few erasures as possible.  I am happy with the drawing and the exercise.  I will do another tomorrow.

I wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving.
