Contemporary Masters Artistic Eden III Show
These two paintings were accepted into the 2012 Contemporary Masters Artistic Eden III show which opened this month. The show is held at the Pasadena Museum of History and celebrates life in the San Gabriel valley. I went down for the opening and was hugely impressed with the size and quality of the show. The show is running through July so if you are in the area get in to see it. Click here to see some of the art on display.
Still Life with Pears Completed
This one is now done but remains nameless. I have to come up with something better than Still Life with Pears (again). I suppose it will name itself eventually but it doesn’t feel finished without a proper name. Any ideas out there?
Orange on Linen
My neighbors brought some great oranges home with them after a recent trip south and I found myself with a bagful of some real beauties. Of course my first thought was STILL LIFE!!!! Yes they are delicious and sweet but those glossy leaves and the rich color begged to be painted first. I took reference photos and have two larger watercolors planned. This one is a study for one of them. The cloth is a lovely old embroidered linen table scarf which has featured in other still lifes. This piece is 6″x6″ and is watercolor on paper. SOLD
