Day 70; Cut to the Chase
I was thinking about this painting for a few days before I painted it today.I had a crystal clear idea that I wanted to paint a pair of scissors on a table. For me drawing and/or painting scissors has always been a measure of where my drawing skills are at. Drawing (or painting) scissors is deceptively difficult because of the foreshortening or angles of the blades. 
Scissors on the Table6×8″Oil on Panel© Kelly Medford, 2012I’m not kidding when I say that for years I couldn’t draw these with the right proportions and angles. Today it felt good to make this painting.You can see this painting or buy it here on my website for $120:https://kellymedford.com/works/961108/scissors-on-the-tableThank you for following the 120 Day Project!
