Mums in Glass Vase



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.

Beautiful painting. I love all the colors that you introduce in the background. What a beautiful backyard you have. Is that a river in the background?

Love this painting especially the magenta background and the beautiful red tomatoes.

Thanks Douglas...I had a lot of fun with this painting. The water is a very small lake that is actually more a pond now.

Jerry...thank you for commenting. I have been trying something new with my color...appreciate that you mentioned the background!

What a beautiful view you have. Glad you shared it.

I like this background also= fresh and sets off the white flower especially. Great composition.
Beautiful job on this piece Linda. Gorgeous color and brushwork!
Hi Linda.
You are still producing beautiful and colourful paintings, and this one is one of them. I love it Linda. Well done. Thank you for your lovely comment on my latest painting. I tried to answer your comment just a while ago and it didn`t recognise the address, Silly computers eh? I will try again shortly. All the best Linda.

Thanks Kathy...think the white flower needs more work, though.

Thanks Polly!

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
