This year, I'd like to do one larger (15x22 or 22x30), complicated still life. I find setting up a still life to be the hardest part of the whole process, and so I want to take some time with it.
Using my Wisconsin finds as the base, I'm going to try out various other items.
I set it up, above, then came back later in the day and this great afternoon light was streaking in. I like the cast shadows and how the light bleaches out the details in the hydrangea. In other places too much is perhaps obscured ... It needs some more adjusting.
Tonight, I had to try the VSD one more time.
(5x7)
The arrangement looks beautiful. I like how the light reflects on the vase. I am looking forward to your work!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a tough set up. I'm looking forward to seeing your painting!
ReplyDeleteThe arrangement looks great, I think you better photograph well cuz you flowers will change every day until all the petals are gone.LOL
ReplyDeleteWow--your painting is lovely--I admire that you keep at it, trying different tactics, and it continues to look fresh! Your still life set-ups are wonderful--such pretty things. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe this is the best yet! - it's so sparkling and the colours gorgeous - I too am amazed that you keep coming up with fresh alternatives! You work very hard at your still-life setup too - I wish I had a teeny bit of your commitment.
ReplyDeletethe setup looks good, maybe a bit too washed out in the photos, but the shadows work well :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the colours you have on the Clementine and in the shadows. Nice bright piece :)
So many attempts - I love how you persevere with these. I think I like the afternoon version below the best. This arrangement has great potential and I'm looking forward to seeing your painting.
