Still life

Still life inspires me to focus on color and composition, although occasionally a narrative suggests itself. Since moving to the northwest, flowers and vegetables from our garden have played a starring role. Sometimes nature does all the arranging that's needed -- I've been experimenting with "plein air" still lifes-- plants au naturel, growing from the earth.  I mostly work in oil, but also enjoy in the possibilities that water media offer.
