Nesting Yellow Pepper

Oil Painting Still Life Vegetables Art Kitchen Decor

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10".

A yellow pepper is always great to paint but even more so when it is nestled in bowls of varying sizes and colors.  This combination is one of my favorites.

Sunlit Fruit Still Life

Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Vase Kitchen Decor

Oil on canvas, 12" x 10".


I painted this still life from photos I took at a Barry Thomas workshop I attended earlier this year.  We did quick small studies of these brightly lit subjects which were spread out on a large table.  I may paint a larger version of this.  I love the glowing effect and intense color.

Young Sunflower

Oil Painting Still Life Flower Art Wild Botanical Garden

Oil on Raymar panel, 5" x 7".

This particular sunflower looked young and hopeful to me.  My sunflowers didn't get very large this summer.  This was one whose stalk and leaves weren't eaten by deer because it was closer to my house.

Summer Magnolia

Oil Painting Still Life Flower Art Southern Trees

Oil on canvas, 12" x 9".

I am very pleased that my Magnolia trees are making it through our very hot and dry summer and producing some beautiful blooms like this one.  I don't know if my favorite parts to paint are the white petals or the twisting waxy leaves.  But I really enjoy the shadows and the rust-colored undersides of the leaves.

Cracked Egg

Oil Painting Still Life Kitchen Artt

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10".

This painting was about reflections and light on the egg and eggshells in a clear green bowl.  I looked for subtle changes in color in the light and dark passages.  That made it a slightly mysterious and happy painting!
