Still Life studies and subjects are one of my favorite types of paintings to do. It is such a classic subject matter for a painting. I love to set up my scene in a way that captures the curiosity of the viewer and invites them in to enjoy subtle play between the shapes and textures of household objects and fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers. There is a peaceful quietness between the play of light and objects that is quite meditative. These scenes could be found anyone's house in any time period. Enjoy!
