Still Life 5

This painting is 20 x 24 inches.  The background behind the white cloth is a very dark purple almost black with some soft fabric folds that aren't visible here.  I am still messing around with my camera trying to eliminate issues like this so the photograph is a duplicate of the painting, just a little off here.

Wrapping up a still life

Lately this still life has demanded my attention.  This is a 20 x 24 oil on hardboard.  It is very wet and the photograph is showing some glare.    Now it needs to sit and dry for a week and then I will know if it is a finished painting.

Snowman sledding 2

What do I collect....snowman, it happened by accident it wasn't a conscious effort.  After many years it dawned on me, I purchase a snowman of one kind or another each year for myself.  These have become my subjects for my Christmas Cards.  Hope you enjoy these happy snow lovers who visit during winter and the holiday season.
