Back to the Stills

I’ve been studying the art of Carol Marine and Sarah Sedwick for some time. Both artists have a nice fluid easy grace with their approach to still life. This still life is very much influenced by their work. I’m working on layering more tones, and color while using limited brush strokes. When I assemble these still life’s and begin to paint, it is very much like deconstructing  a puzzle. I had to paint yesterday. Except I forgot to turn the heat on in the studio and I was painting in 30 degree weather. Brrrrrrrr! I might have done more fine tuning, but my hands were shaking.
