Magnolia’s with Cut Glass Candy Dish

22″ x 28″
Oil on canvas

Painting still lifes gives me a chance to challenge my abilities as an artist. This cut glass candy dish was one of those fun challenges. I make sure that the dish was symmetrical on my canvas. Then it is Go paint as fast as I can. It’s hesitation and dabbling that muddies up a painting. I can always go back into a painting and correct a misshapen area or add highlights.
