Still life paintings are fun to paint. There is infinite variety, techniques, styles, colors, etc. to explore. Even the same still life on a different day will turn out differently for several reasons: different lighting, different emotions, different choice of colors, etc. Even using a different brush can result in a new experience with an old subject. My still lifes so far tend to be more representational rather than impressionistic. Realism is satisfying to me.

More still life images are found on the "private collections" page.

(An aside: canvas panels are not inferior supports for paintings. I have a painting by my mother's Sunday School teacher painted around 1930 that is still in excellent condition. Don't be afraid that canvas panels will deteriorate faster than other supports. No painting should be subjected to extremes of temperature, direct sunlight for long periods, or left "to the elements" in a barn-like storage. Sometimes damage can be corrected, but it is expensive.)
