Three Small Still Lives

Three Small Still Lives

This trio of still lives were fun to do and I think they turned out well.

Here the first one, of a flower arrangement in a green tea pot (I put the photo I painted from below it).




Teapot Flower Arrangement
I had trouble getting the pot dark enough, and the flowers lack a bit of definition, but it was fun to do. The reflection off of the teapot turned out well.


The second is of red flowers arranged in a tin can, with a toy tractor. I really liked the way this one turned out, especially the tin can and the gerber daisy, at least that's what I think it is, on the left.

Cute, huh? I might do this one again, only larger.




























 The last wee still life is a basic multicolored arrangement in a glass vase.

 It turned out well though I utterly failed to get some of the flowers right, but unless you are looking at the photo I did it from, you cannot see it. But here it is so you can see!

The tractor one is still my favorite. Red Internationals are kind of a "thing" amongst our farmer neighbors.
I'm so glad you're making the time to paint again!

It's my favorite too! I am also glad I have made the time to paint again. It is so good for my mental well being!!!
