I love painting still lifes from life. Doing so keeps my observation skills sharp! And though I use a classical style of painting, I find ways to make my still lifes look fresh and new. I’m a pretty quick painter, so I choose fruit or vegetables I will enjoy eating when the still life is finished!
Berries on Lace
12x12 Oils on Board
This started from an actual still life I’d set up in my studio. The view is from straight above however, to give an almost abstract composition. So I did finish details from photos I took.
SOLD
Orange On Plate
Oils on three wood panels. 12x12.
This is an experiment in Trompe l’oeil, or “fool the eye”. I painted the orange and plate on two separate round wood panels, and the table cloth on a square panel. Then glued them together on seperators. The photo does not due justice to how 3D it looks!

White Onion
Oils on wood panel 5x5.
Frame Size 7 1/4 x 7 1/4
Painted from life, I thought it would be interesting to use a modern style of framing. Mounted on a spacer sets the image off nicely from the antique gold board.

Cherries in the Round
Oils on wood panels
16”
I’m painting “outside the box” on this one! Why do all paintings have to be rectangular or square? The painting is mounted on a separator to give it some dimension. Ocher frame.
