Original Oil Painting Eggs in Glass Bowl


Eggs in Glass Bowl

Sold

12" x 12"
Paint on gessobord.

My friend, Mary gave me this lovely glass bowl. So with a little trail and error I came up with this composition. The complexity of the cut glass design was quite a challenge but it worked so well with the simplicity of the eggs and knife I decided to go with it. So with lots of patience, many breaks and luck the bowl turned out. Painting something like this fractured glass design can make your eyes go dizzy so I took one section at a time, one dab of color at a time. I hope you can see all the work I put into this painting and hopefully I captured the sparkling bowl for my viewers. Thanks for taking a look and leave a comment if you would like.

Original Oil Painting Strawberry Boat


Strawberry Boat
Sold

9" x 12"
Painted on gesso panel.

I painted this using a still life photo I took a week ago.  I usually like to take many still life photos at once. I chose a set-up I like and proceed to paint. I do not delete the other photos because I can paint them later. I just won't have the objects sitting in front of me.
