Still Life, Oil Study

Recent Still Life Study, 'For Renee', 

Oil on Canvas

Initial 'Block-In'

Finished Painting

I used to dislike still life as a genre, but lately have taking a liking, enjoying
the opportunity to explore composition, color harmony, and mood. Also enjoying the works of some of the past masters of still life: Fantin LaTour, Chardin, and Abbot Thayer.
