STILL LIFE

Painting still life for me is a form of meditation. It allows me to look deeply at a subject. Often the light that comes in through my north facing window sets a mood that evokes feelings and memories for me when setting up a still life. I try to capture that mood in the work. But mostly, this kind of close attention to what I am trying to capture turns into a kind of adoration. A friend once told me (tongue in cheek) that she couldn't paint portraits because she found herself falling in love with her subject as a result of the close scrutiny she employed when painting them. I think I understand.

“Cascade” is part of my new contemporary series of paintings.

This piece has tons of texture and the flowers literally jump off the panel when viewed in person.

$640.00

This colorful Still Life of Glass was a challenge to paint. Textures and reflective surfaces are a specialty of mine so this was also a lot of fun to watch the glass come to life on my easel. The name comes from the placement of the glass pieces and how they create a sort of skyline if you follow the tops from left to right across the panel.

The way the various shapes and textures are rendered in this painting, remind me of skyscrapers or a collection of buildings. I love painting detail in still lifes and the colors and light here are lovely. A great piece to sit over your couch or dining hutch.

Sea Shells are a mystery to me. Each one has it's own unique color and personality. When fresh from the beach they smell of salt and even after years, you can hear the sea in them. I painted this one as a unique small portrait. While it's small, it packs a punch in terms of its three dimensional realism.

Reflections and metal are a favorite subject for me. Here I was looking for objects that would pull the cool light from my north light window and bring the morning light from a cloudy day onto my subject. I especially like the way the colors play here.
