Still Life - Three Bears

Three Bears 11 in. x 14 in. Oil On Linen On Panel - $250


When my daughter was young she was a stuffed animal fanatic. These are three of them that I pulled out of her permanent archive. I thought that it would be an interesting challenge to see what I could do with the subject. One of my goals was to not make it too cutesy, but I also did not want a creepy painting either. In the end I really like the painting. I hope that you enjoy it!

Still Life - Flowers And Silver Creamer

Flowers And Silver 6 in. x 8 in. Oil On Linen On Panel - $91 Starting Bid.


For me this painting is about the silver creamer and the color contrasts of the flowers and wooden table top. Silver and metal objects are one of my favorite things to paint. This one took a little time to finish because of the need to paint in layers to get the effect that I was after on the creamer. In the end I really like the result and enjoyed creating the painting. I hope that you enjoy it.

Still Life - Plums And A Ladle

Plums And A Ladle 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Linen On Panel - $99


This is an antique silver ladle that my wife has with three plums. I always enjoy painting shiny metal and I thought that the deep red of the plums made a nice contrast with the shine and colors in the ladle. I hope that you enjoy the painting.
