Original Oil Painting Classic Peonies

Classic Peonies

16" x  20"

Painted on stretch linen

This is my last painting assignment for Elizabeth Robbins' online course. The assignment was silver, peony and "S" composition. Elizabeth is an excellent teacher. I encourage anyone who likes to paint flowers to look her up. She won't be hard to find. Her paintings are well known. 

My goal was to concentrate on a softer looking flower approach and to leave background items less detailed. I love her paintings and was so excited to hear that she has a six month online course. I will send this to her and hope I do not have to make major changes. Wish me luck.

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.

10" x 10"

Painted on gesso panel.

I painted this from a still life in the studio. The glass is my son's but the fruit is mine. I really like how the glass reflects everything around it. The bottom of the glass has a circular pattern that shows through the curved smooth glass. I found this very interesting to paint.

The title came from the idea of rock, paper, scissors but this time it was glass, melon, strawberry.
