Blue bottle Gardenia 5x7 still life


 Lately I've been paying more attention to the selection of objects for a still life and especially their color and how they can compliment each other in the composition, I try to visualize it in my mind first before even setting it up, then I try to recreate that concept the best way I can.

Working on setting up more dynamic/interesting still life setups + plus exploring color possibilities along the way, last night's result will be up on seven day auction.

5 x 7 inches Oil on Canvas panel
The angle was the key here which placed the figure towards the right, it anticipates movement and shows the sensibility of the female form more, sometimes certain poses give more hints about emotions or thoughts then others, you can never intellectualize all of this in the beginning since most of the problematics are resolved during the creative process, you can only try to visualize the result.

18" x 24" oil on canvas

I used an old painting primed with a layer of oil paint in this one, I was experimenting with that set background and trying to make use of it, I found out that you can come up with interesting results but didn't like painting over the glassy surface of dried oil and the edges were harder to control so I had to overpaint certain parts since I wasn't getting the needed control that I'm used to, but I think that changing your approach to paint always yields some new insights.

This still life composition was all about color and I was trying to capture all the color variables that drew my attention in the first place, from the warmer tones to the cooler violets, I really like how all these colors relate to each other and connect the whole piece together.
