Another still life

Here is another study of beach pebbles from life. This one took a lot longer than the one I posted yesterday, and it used some of the same rocks. (Obviously the speckled one and the black one are the same, but also the little white rock between the black and red ones was in the last painting). I feel this is overworked, and it doesn't have any of the freshness the previous one had. Oh well! It was fun figuring out how to paint the granite pebble!
