Formally Yours

This one started out with a tulip in the little glass jar, but it looked awkward, so I replace it with the yellow/orange vase. I really like the color scheme. I also reworked a couple of my recent paintings that I wasn't happy with. See below:
I decided this needed another element in the foreground- thus the white plate. Also reworked the cloth a bit.

I'm still searching for compositional solutions with my landscapes. I think I'm starting to "get it" with still life- but I'm not "there" with landscape.

  1. I think the plaTe in the foreground was just what that painting needed. Not so much dead space in the right corner. And the black cup! I just love all of the reflections on it. Great job!

  4. You have such nice darks and lights. I really like the triangle thing you have going on in your landscape.

  6. LOVE this! It's one of my all time faves of yours. That pale green/yellow in the dark cup paired with the purple is heavenly. Just GORGEOUS!

    I think your landscape looks fabulous too.
