I set up this terrific still life in my studio.  I loved the subtle colors of the pot and background with the bright contrast of the garlic.  I first painted this in oil and got bogged down with the middle of the painting blues.  I had a student working in pastel who was also enamored of the still life.  I worked beside her and found that working in pastel renewed my vision of the painting.  Thus I have posted on my website two versions of the mottled pot and garlic from two different views and different mediums.
