Tulips and Oranges

I guess I’m still not finished trying out more still lifes in the Angus Wilson style. I find reference photos on Paint My Photo.com, and then tweak them. Here is my reference photo for this one.

Wine and Cheese

I had this one all sketched out from my Angus Wilson phase, so I painted it up yesterday. It’s fun to mix so many vibrant colors.

Citrus

It was fun to experiment with a different painting style, but it felt good to do this one as “me”, in my comfort zone. I painted this from a beautiful reference photo on Paint my Photo.com. I’m not totally happy with how the shadow behind the bowl turned out, I may fiddle with it a bit.

Cuteness break

This is my entry for the Tiny Art Show competition that @tinyartshow on Instagram is hosting. It features tiny still life paintings in the style of Angus Wilson, in little cardboard frames. It’s set up on my kitchen counter.

Snow day cheer

It’s snowing!! Working on these dandelions brightened my mood. This is another one in the style of Angus Wilson. I can hardly wait to start the next one, these are so fun.

Something new

I’ve been really obsessed with the painting of Angus Wilson lately, and have been experimenting in his style a bit. Here’s my first completed painting. Stay tuned for more, this is so fun!

Here’s a link to the reference photo I based it on, if you’re curious. I needed some structure to start with to plan it and get it sketched out, then I added some of my own twists.
