Still Life

What can Be said about my Still Life works?

I love the play of light on glass, crystal or chrome. Creating this effect in pastel is a challenge, I relish.  My success is measured by the number of viewers who are astonished that the paintings are soft pastel.  

This is the greatest reward for my hard work! 

I also love the challenge of material and fabric.  The Native American piece you see in several paintings offered a new experience in painting.  

Still Life artists are always seeking the new to make the painting more interesting and challenging.
