Night



My beautiful 13 and 1/2 year old Golden Retriever died today. I shall miss him so much. He was a great companion and we had many wonderful adventures together.

I found this marvelous black perfume bottle tucked away on a shelf in one of my favorite thrift shops. There were many bottles but this one was beautifully shaped and eloquent. I tried to maintain a deeper and more grayed background. I wanted the bottle to command a quiet and dignified center of attention. The background color was just working in this painting so I took the liberty of reworking the value structure.

So sorry to hear about your dog. My dog, an Australian/Collie mix is 11 years old, and I cannot imagine the day we loose her. They bring so much to our lives, truly become a part of the family.

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)
