Tot Shot

Tot Shot
6x6, soft pastel


Who doesn’t love a good hot crispy tater tot right? We have a special place we like to go for burgers and they have the very best tots around. We were out for lunch the other day and the spirit of the 31 day challenge, I sacrificed these three tots from my lunch to use in a still life setup.

Of course Benny was very interested in the savory smell my studio took on while I painted and sat patiently next to the still life table hoping to get a handout once I was finished. I must have distracted him along the way because it wasn’t until three days later that he picked up the scent again and sat patiently next to the table. Although they were cold and dried out by then, I simply had to give them to him anyway. A dog’s reward for superior patience.
