Reflections and Food for Thought

I have been enjoying a quiet Sunday, and have been making a list of things I want to paint. I love reflections and decided to try some. I love how the metal pitcher reflects the pears. My other love is patterns, I would like to paint more patterns this year. Vuillard is a favorite of mine, and I really enjoy his interiors, and use of patterns. I keep discovering more and more wonderful painters out there it is so exciting to see everyone's work. If you are looking for a good book on creativity, I am reading Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit Learn it and Use it for Life. Also just finished Matisse on Art. Lots of food for thought.

  4. Thank you Miriam, I always enjoy reading comments and getting feed back. I hope to her from you again. The colors are all due to using oil bar. They aren't as easily mixed as regular oils. I do love all the colors offered by oil bars.
