I wanted to create a soft, soothing floral still life. Painted on .75" deep canvas, with painted sides. Finished with a light spray of varnish to enhance and protect the colors.

Still Life Paintings, Small Oil Painting, Daily Paintings, Reviewing my past works
Every once in awhile, I like to review my painting files. I think it is extremely helpful, to see how your painting style has changed over the years.
When I started painting, I did lots of still life. These two have encouraged me, to get back in the still life mode, doing set-ups in my studio.
Sometimes we just need to shake things up a little. I think I am there, now. Let's get a little new inspiration!

Floral Still Life, Hydrangea Painting, Second Bloom, Daily Painting, SOLD
Last winter, I spent three months on the east coast of Florida. It involved many walks on the beach, and my painting was full of seagulls, and seascapes.
I also painted this hydrangea still life. I hope you like it.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Floral with Melon Still Life, 14x18x.75" Oil
Today's art is a workshop painting. I recently attended a 4-day workshp with one of my favorite artists, Elio Camacho. Elio is as good as an instructor as he is as an artist. I would be hard pressed to find another instructor with as much knowledge and one who gave me as much individual attention. Maybe he thought I need the attention more than others....just kidding. Everyone in the class got lots of instruction tailored to their individual needs.
This is my second Elio workshop and I have already signed up for another. I need constant reinforcement to actually put his techniques in practice.
Elio is not an internet artists, but you can find his work on Pinterest. He doesn't allow photos taken of him that expose his face. You will see lots of images of him at the easel, always from behind.
He lives in the Bay area, but travels to Florida in the Spring and Fall of each year to do workshops in several locations here. Workshop information is available on his website here. If you decide to go, you will have a real treat ahead of you, as he is also a very interesting person with a wonderful sense of humor. Enjoy!
Have a great day!

Teapot Still Life Painting, Home Wall Decor, Kitchen or Breakfast Nook Artwork, Daily Painting
This is not a new painting, but it is my favorite still life teapot painting. It is a antique French teapot that I found on Etsy.
 | |
450 + shipping The owner of the Etsy site, Dandeliondecor gave me permission to use her image. The teapot is no longer available but I am happy to have this painting. I was attracted by the wavy lines, the beautiful china roses and the sweet curvy handle. The painting is soft and subtle, but it catches my eye every day as I walk by it. Yes, one of the perks of being an artist, is lots or original art on your walls. Several years ago I did lots of still life teapots and flowers and food items. I am getting in the mood to return to these subjects. I hope you enjoy this daily painting today and I hope you will pin it. |
