Description
About this hand painted art: The original artwork is an oil painting. For the round blue vase, I used an old bottle from Avon. The dried purple flowers were from a wedding. The model for the golden walls was--a cardboard box. Main colors are gold, blue, brown, and purple. There is also a bit of yellow, green, and red. There are bright accents. Oh, and there is white, such as the shiny part of the Avon vase.
.............................
Much of the work of creating a still life occurs before the brush is lifted. First, I decide where the setup will be, paying attention to the light source and often using large objects to channel or block some of the light--remember the cardboard box to which I alluded in the above paragraph? I usually arrange the flowers into several different positions, finally settling on one arrangement. Sometimes I draw the objects or florals with a pen or pencil before painting. Other times, I just head straight for the paint brush.
............................
People don't normally think of age and time when they view a floral still life. But these beautiful flowers are now dried flowers--dead flowers. The Avon bottle is several years old. Once again, I have found myself portraying the passage of time.
