Old Found Things

I love finding old relics
for my still life work.
Here's some cool new finds...
An old used oil can, brass keys,
my birds nest that you've seen before,
old books, and some quails eggs.
 
Here's how it begins...

a pencil study of the oil can I'm using..

 
 
preliminary drawings done...
transferred to the canvas..
and just put a grisaille and
then a light wash..
 

 
a few more touches... mostly to the details of the oil can...
  
some background work and detail...
 
 
  
details...details...
the keys are slowly evolving...
 
 
Phew!!! Done!
