Together

6 x 8 Oil on Canvas

I love painting this little brass urn because it is always such a challenge. It always subtly reflects the colors around it. I've been trying to keep my colors strokes pure and direct. I usually take better pictures, but this one was done with a lot of artificial light.
Thanks for looking,

Brush and Varnish

6 x 8 oil on canvas, Still life

 

 

I was trying to lead the eye towards the bottle. The large brush I had purchased from a friend  but have never used it. It's just a big beautiful brush that looks like an artist should own.
Thank you for stopping by.

Heaven

6 x 8 oil on canvas, still life

 

When I was painting this it reminded me of heaven with the lights coming from above. I attempted to make the objects stand out and almost "glow". The background is actually more green, but I was unable to capture this. Thanks for looking.

Dusk

6 x 8 oil on canvas, still life

This still life looked like I was trying to capture the fleeting light. I think I have overused the green vase and need to put it away for awhile. I love the way it captures the light. Thank you for looking.

The Embrace

6 x 8 oil on canvas. Still life

These two individuals seem to be caught in the headlights while embracing. I tried to concentrate on hitting color next to color and tried to stay away from drawing form. This is very hard since I have spent a good part of my life drawing. Thank you for looking.

A Trip to the Baby's Room!

A Trip to the Baby's Room 6 x 8 oil on canvas

Before the kids went to sleep last night I grabbed a few of their toys. I am new to still life painting and I love the fact that it is always new and exciting. I love drawing and painting figures, but with those it's more concentrating on the slight nuances or changes that occur within the skin. With still life it is the way different forms react with one another. Very challenging. Thank for stopping by.

I usually stay away from more than 2 object when I am painting small paintings. I've seen other artist make some beautiful small painting with enough objects to assist the composition. Thanks for stopping by
