             I’m normally a landscape artist but I have to admit I love painting still lifes on occasion. Sometimes it’s simply because I love painting with warm colors like these on a cold, grey, winter day.

What many non-artists don’t realize is that the challenges for still-life artists begin before they even start painting, with the choice of objects and how they will be arranged and lighted. I have tremendous respect for these artists, having watched some of the best ones, arranging and rearranging a set-up until it almost magically comes together in a beautiful design.

Happy Weekend!
