Still life

A nice still life Michael the highlights are really well done

Thankyou Neil I'm glad you think so. Above all I just really enjoyed painting it.

Good painting Michael. The problem of what to do with all your paintings when you produce them so quickly is a common one, mine are all stacked on top of wardrobes etc, not ideal but it keeps them out of the way.

Lovely painting in the true 'Vanitas' still life tradition.

Yes I empathise with you Lynn. I stopped buying new canvases many months ago and am always reusing the ones I've got.

Thankyou Jill yes this was copied from a Dutch old master painting. I intend to do my own still lifes with maybe more modern looking objects. A spongebob table cloth perhaps ha ha.

It's great Michael and so small too. Yes, growing clutter is always a problem for me too.

Brilliant Michael. Super reflections and use of colours. I sense a touch of Holbein in this composition.

I like this Michael. Very good.

Thankyou Heather and Spencer and Denise. Err I'm not sure about the holbein Spencer I think your art history might be better than mine. Hans holbein isn't it? I'm not sure who painted the original. Might have been him. I just liked it and thought it was all part of the learning curve. Maybe I should follow my own vision but just lately I've been striving to really improve my drawing skill since it is my dream to be a professional artist one day.
