This is a painting in progress. I wanted to keep it fresh and so there won't be a lot of changes.

Today is overcast and we are receiving much needed rain. My flowers are arching their little necks skyward to drink in the warm rain...it is beautiful!

I had fun with this painting. The experimental beginning included ink drawings to find the composition that was most interesting, and then working the design to establish a light dark pattern. After all of these details were worked out I then began to paint. It was a lot of fun and I felt that I acheived a better palette and a more cohesive composition.

Getting ready to start some new work. I did these quick contour studies last night to try out using a marker on tracing paper. I liked it a lot! Painting tonight! Yay!

I bought a set of these great mid century glasses in a variety of different colors. Each glass has a floral graphic design on it. The silk Iris was one that I had in my stash of still life material. These apples really are as big as they look. I wanted to work with transparency and color. I feel that I acheived my goals in this painting. When I was done there was just a nice harmony between the colors and shapes. 10"X10" Oil Stretched Linen

I am using a simple red, blue, and yellow theme in this painting. Fell head over heels for this red flower. PURCHASE HERE

I set this still life up in my studio with controlled lighting. It is an interesting subject, the still life, and I have been studying and looking at many works of art. Grouping and balance seem to be a key ingredient of a good still life. Is it the lighting, the color, or the narrative that makes one stand out? I have looked at many where the objects themselves do not necessarily inspire me, but the way that the artist brings a bit of himself or herself to the painting.
