Glass Dish

Today I decided to work on painting colored glass. I found this cute little green glass bowl at the Habitat store and finally got around to using it in a still life.  I love using two solid objects and one translucent one since they all have interesting shadows.

I am also working on composition and having at least one object going off the edge, in this case two.  I love the little triangle of red in the back corner.

This pear is trying to hide behind the blue cup but it doesn't seem to be working.  I love all these colors, especially the color of the tablecloth.

Nowhere To Hide

This pear is not as bold as yesterday's pear.  This one declined a spot in front and prefers to remain mostly in the shadows. I am once again experimenting with color and it's fun with all my painting props to try different combinations.

On a somber note, one of my galleries is closing and I received a message yesterday to come and pick up my paintings at the Woods Gallery on Bald Head Island.  It has been wonderfully managed for BHI incorporated by Shawn Best and I wish her the best in what she endeavors next.

(Hopefully she will have more time for her own painting, as she is a wonderful artist)
