No--I wasn't sick on the painting and a baby didn't poop on it either--it's just my abundant talent!

I haven't painted in a week. I've thought about it. I've looked at objects and thought about painting. I made some draft drawings. Then finally I put it to paint. Looks nothing like the real thing. And the background--holy shit! I guess I was using up paint and not thinking. The mug shape is sort of the same but no way can I get that salt glaze replicated on a painted board.

I know I will paint over the baby shit and try to figure out how to make the mug look like it does or look like I feel like it makes me feel. It is one of my favorite mugs on the shelf not a piece of shit like it looks like.

Or not. Maybe I'll just start over.

Here it is in the daylight photo'd in natural light instead of lightbulbs. Looks worse plus it seems I have also scratched it? The shape looks mostly right. The bottom width is the same as the tip. Really looks like baby shit background.

Here is another version where I painted over it again and again.

Pretty sure this is going to be gesso'd over on Friday. It was gesso'd over already and maybe it's bad juju of the previous ugly painting (the elliptical stack of bowls with football shapes instead of rounds).

UPDATE: Gone. Black gesso'd over.
