oil on panel, 12x12
After a very long absence, I have returned to still life painting. It gives me a way to paint from life during the long, hot, Florida summer. I like to have a few objects, and prefer flowers and fruit. When I set up a still life, I realize who many variations are possible. It is nice to be in control of the scene after spending some years doing plein air painting. This floral has soft light and shadows, and muted colors. The lemon gives it a little pop.
