Here are a few more of my latest fruit studies. These still
life paintings are a great way to understand light, shadow, color and
composition. The still life painting genre is as diverse as its history is
long. From the times of the early Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans paintings of
fruit can be found on tomb walls, tile floor mosaics and wall paintings in
Pompeii all the way to Rome and the High Renaissance.
Even in our modern day and age, works of art with
contemporary themes of fruit and still life painting is still going strong. The
genre has always been one that artists turn to again and again when they are
not working on bigger commissions.
These studies are so important for artists to pursue to
understand color and light. Through them, still life art compositions
articulate ideas about our natural world, religious symbolism, personal as well
as allegorical explorations, and universal human reflections on life and death.
I have been enjoying bringing these little fruit studies to life during the
fall season. Artists can look to this unique genre for the answers that
painters are forever trying to find.
If you are interested in purchasing any of the paintings
please e-mail me here on my blog and I will let you know the price with
shipping included.
Thanks
