Sweet Things

6X6

$100
Available on my Etsy site

 
This was a fun little painting to do.  I backlit the still life so that the light would shine through the jar of honey and light the edges of the candy can.  I was working wth darker values and balancing the composition with light.  I am very happy with this little painting.

It glows. I love the color reflected on the candy cane, honey and the reflection in the ornaments. Beautifully done Linda.

This is a lovely still life. Love the warm colors against the white backgroun and how you place the white grey passive Christmas ornament (not sure if you call it a ball.

I often back lit my still life, gives so much interesting shadows..

Thank you, Roger. I liked the value changes when lighting from the back, also.

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)
