The Frogs and Marmelade

[Grapes]

From January dailies. I wanted to paint jam jars but so many paint jam jars so I needed something different. I just purchased these frogs and by accident put it on the top of jar bc lack of space on the table and there it was: the setup.
"The Frogs and Marmelade", support is just a pizza box. Oil painting from life. Small size daily painting.

I love this kind of still life! Ordinary objects combined in a unique and unexpected way, unless frogs are normally found perched atop one’s marmalade. It’s wonderful!

Donna, Triduana, Chaithram and Murray, thank you for your comments!

Wonderfully charming, whimsical, and great highlights. This seems a rather complex subject to me, handled exceptionally well.

Thanks Joy!
The frog pose was challenging! I actually did put a light source behind the jelly jars so I could see a little bit of the light passing through the jelly. I had to take the light source away to photograph it ok.
