Cow Tea Kettle Still Life

This past month I've experimented with two types of paintings. One with canvas over wood (CoW) and one without. This painting is a complete opposite of my CoW paintings. The smooth surface adds an almost hyper realism to this very unique and strong still life. The painting is that of cow kettle on a stove. This has to be one of my favorites. The cool grayish and blue tones among high reflective surfaces are complimented by the strong reds in the cow's nose. This painting contains many levels of grays and blues but the painting stands on its unusual and original composition. I don't know if I should laugh or stare at this thing.

Diner Table Still Life

I really enjoy these classical Diner table scenes. There is so much history in this type of still life. The traditional American landscape of cafe's and Diners will never get old to me.

Poached Egg on Toast Still Life

Every once and awhile I come up with a piece that is really fun to paint which required almost no effort. This still life of a toast and a poached egg is an example of a painting the exemplifies texture, color and a strong compositional design. The texture of the canvas over wood (part of my new series..CoW) is perfect for this type of painting. Please enjoy.

Cake Mixing Bowl Still Life

This painting was prepared over a 3/4" poplar surface which contains a smooth almost toothless surface. The still life is that of a cake mixing bowl with cake mix. I found the texture and swirling pattern in the cake mix an almost abstract and impressionistic design. Not only does it make for an interesting composition it taste good......cake !

Tea Pot on Stove / Retro Still Life

This painting was painted on 3/4" poplar wood. This surface is very different than my canvas over wood surface. The hard and extremely smooth surface is perfect for this subject. The high reflections and in places very detailed still life makes for a strong piece. Throughout the 6.5 years that I've painted and sold on ebay, I painted many tea pots and it is still fun to paint.

Two Flowers in Glass II Still Life

This painting was painted on 3/4" poplar wood. This surface is very different than my canvas over wood surface. The hard and extremely smooth surface is perfect for this subject. This still life of two flowers in two shot glasses uses realism to capture a perhaps ideal and surreal setting. The contrasting yellows, greens and blues compliments the cool grays and blues of the background.

Blue Berry Muffin on Plate Still Life

This painting was prepared over a 3/4" poplar surface that I wrapped a canvas over to provide some texture. Every so often I feel inspired to wrap canvas over wood. This approach provides me the texture of the canvas (which I like) and the hard surface of the wood (which I like for detail). The texture of the canvas was perfect to capture the muffin's grainy surface.
