cloth demo

My students wanted me to demo cloth after posting the kiwis and cherries still life. I did this little 6 x 6 inch painting, designing it so that most of the still life was high on the horizon allowing it to be about the cloth.

Still Life with Kiwi and Cherries

Just off to the Banks Gallery in New London, NH

Seeing green instead of white fields inspired me to post this farming painting from my Fells show about working farms in New Hampshire

Coastal Rocks

Whew...after struggling with Morning Coffee (probably still not done) I played with color

Changes...

Thanks to all who commented. I made a few changes...hopefully for the better.

Morning Coffee

Need some thoughts here. This is very different for me and I always struggle with perspective.

Long and Narrow demonstration

This demonstration was not just about painting glass or flowers, but a consideration of design. By using such a long and narrow canvas, the challenge was to crop the flowers in the vase to create interesting negative shapes.
