I have always admired artists who do interior paintings. Finally, I found a composition in my home that seemed to work. My pot of tulips on the window sill were casting long shadows on the white chair next to it.
Another of my "chunky" floral still life. The idea on these is to keep detail to a minimum with color, brushstrokes and shape catching you eye.
SOLD
I quickly sketched in very basic shapes, not being fussy but trying to capture enough of the flower shape to be recognizable. I massed in dark under colors and then worked a little with local color. Of course, I pumped it up.
A small floral still life of blooms from my garden in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains. I set them on the window sill with natural light streaming in from behind.
I have been working on a series of small floral still life paintings in the past week or two. The images are all from small floral arrangements that I cut from my garden and photographed over the five years. I never painted them, but always kept the images in my files.
