Still Life Sketch

This is an 8x12 inch graphite sketch on sketch paper.

Arrangement in Green

Etude en Vert

This 16x20 still life is done in oil on traditional stretched canvas. It is one of the three paintings that are hanging in the gallery at Maison Catherin'Art. If it looks somewhat familiar its because its the predecessor of the pastel I posted on 23 September. That one was titled Still Life with Harvest.

Still life with harvest

Thought for the week: It is said that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for only a day, but if you teach that man to fish, you feed him (and his family) for his life. This is true. But you must also consider that, having taught him to fish, if you poison his rivers, you haven't helped him at all.

Salsa and copper plate II

This 16x20 inch pastel work on sanded paper is the full color version of the greyscale one I posted on 15 September. It's not quite identical, but its close.

This 11x15 inch still life is done in charcoal and graphite with a touch of white pastel for the highlights.

Salsa and copper plate

This is a greyscale soft pastel done on 16x20 sanded pastel paper. It was done as an exercise to see if I could render the highlights on the copper plate with black and white pastel. I think it worked out rather well.
