Jar of Olives.....Day 17

6"X6"

Oil

Ampersand Gessobord

$100.00

I am sweating bullets...I wipe this baby out about 4 times and finally brought it to a conclusion! I was actually going for almost full abstraction. Pushing the limits was my intention and still maintaining some semblance of reality. I was looking at the work of Kathryn Kehoe yesterday and that is something that I admire about her work; especially her still life paintings. If you haven't had an opportunity to look at her work I encourage you to do so.
As I have said many times about my work...I walk with one foot in abstraction and the other in realism. It is pretty much the way that I approach life. I like to go to the smallest denominator and then see how close to representation I can come.

I am enjoying landscape painting so much. It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use. They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
