Painting 43 : Stoneware Jug with Apples

Realist still life oil painting stoneware jug with apples
Oil painting on panel 5x7"
I've got an ill child again unfortunately - just a virus, poor little thing, but she's been ill for a few days now so I'm back to trying to paint and write late into the evening.  
I made this little study last night, the objects have crept round to the other side of the shadow box where the light is a little different again.  I like the strong diagonal shadows on the objects, but am not happy about how close they are to the drapes at the back.  I was thinking of painting the backgound entirely black but I think ill leave it as it is and try something different next time. 
I painted this pretty quickly, and only with sable brushes just so that I could try out the composition.  Ill be doing a few more quick studies like this as I'm planning on trying some larger still life pieces.

Not going to attempt to paint tonight as I finished this one so late  night last and got woken up a few times as well.  I feel a bit odd not painting on the days I can't paint, like something really important is missing.

So far I've managed 43 out of 64 days which isn't bad considering how little time I get.  Its definitely improved my painting a lot.
