Didn't mean to say you shouldn't do paintings for friends, just... don't forget to look after yourself as well.
Painting something from just whatever colors are left over is a cool idea, so far I've either used leftovers to tint my next background, or stored them in a vial in the freezer. Might use your method next time though, could lead to some nice spontaneous results :)
Awesome still life! And very nice of you to add your notes, very interesting to read especially since I'm trying to get a grip of oils as well at the moment. I think the reflective surface of the eggplant turned out rally good.
Did you prime or prepare the wood in any way before painting on it? (I'm trying to figure out the best/cheapest surfaces to paint on at the moment, but reading up on that is really confusing)
Keep it up, meat :)
