White Vase and Peonies - Still Life
Still life paintings are usually a chance to "let go" with color. It's one of the reasons I find them so invigorating to paint. Yesterday's still life was quite the opposite: a lesson in restraint. The white vase and white flowers made this painting all about values.

Bruce, this is really a lovely painting. The white on white in intriguing. Very subtle color and it works so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. I forgot to mention that this "lesson" was in a workshop with Suchitra Bhosle. She did the set up and challenged us with the value puzzle.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love the softness of the flowers and the vase.
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa! As I mentioned in the post, this was an exercise in restraint and subtle value changes. It was a challenge that required me to 'stretch' a bit. I'm pleased that you enjoy it.
