Finished my Painting

Finally finished my first truly original oil painting. By that I mean I didn't do it from a picture, I set up the still life myself. Well, I did have to consult some pictures of forsythia on the internet. The only thing available to paint from life around here is snow and bare trees. I also don't want to paint en plein air in 18 degree weather. The next thing I want to do is a painting to go in my booth. My table covers are purple so maybe lilacs and silver jewelry?

  3. Nancy, I'm so impressed with your painting. Especially the detail on the vase! Light reflection on shiny objects can be hard to capture, but you absolutely nailed it -- at first glance, I thought it was a photograph.

  4. Nancy, This is beautiful! I love the setting and the colors have so much depth. The one dropped petal adds interest. The forsythia are a gorgeous hope of spring. The way you captured the bunny and the shadow of the vase is incredible. Congratulations!

  9. The painting is wonderful. The shading and highlights on the vase are impressive. I can't believe that is your first oil painting. Keep up the good work.
