"Still Life with Sunflower Painting"
11" x 14"
oil on canvasboard
The sunflower painting within this painting is by Ohio artist, Barbara Pask. Again, this is the subject of an online workshop with Susan Carlin (see previous post).
Ellipses are difficult. They are the "extreme symmetrical" and it's so important to get them right - or it bothers the viewer's eye and mind. I had to work on my ellipse of the teacup a little more..hope it reads right now.
A large benefit to this workshop...critique!
We had two great critiques of our work which is always helpful.
You learn from the assessment of YOUR work as well as the work of others. Valuable!
(P.S. I have a new appreciation for those who paint 'still life'.)

What a great piece, and a great way to learn when you live in the boondocks!
What a great still life - I like the idea of on-line lessons. May have to do that next time.BTW I have something for you. Stop by my blog and pick it up! If you don't choose to accept it, I understand. :)
