Blue Bottle

Capturing the textures in a still life are what make them exciting to do! Can you feel the bumps in the hammered copper? The smoothness of the glass? And onions are always a delightful challenge! Oil on linen

Masterful, love the sheen of the copper n the shine of the blue bottle, awesome colors together... carefully peal away the signifigance of the past, parchment ...when U come the to the stolen secrets of the heart may U never shed a tear like that of the an onions sphere... nor need a bottle blue to contain the contents for que... Just me sayin Hello n have a great day. Somethin else U inspired me to write, hope U like it! I will have to save it in my little book. For some reason your paintings inspire...it must be that u truly love your subjects n painting them. I feel the wonder of your emotion in them. Blessings to U ever CB

Wonderful composition

Cork, glass, onion skin, metal, fabric, highlights, shadows, colour......you do it all. You're my American Idol. I'd be honoured if you peeked at my last two works & gave me feedback.

You just take my breath away! not only can I feel the bumps in the hammered copper, and the smoothness of the glass.. but I swear I can smell the onions!! You are THAT GOOD!! a master oil painter!! Unbelievable talent!! :o)

Beautiful painting...I like that you have used onions instead of the traditional fruit that is used mostly....Superb!

Wonderful painting right down to the delicate skin from the onion.

Beautiful shimmer on the metal container... love those onions! Especially the falling off skin.... My hubby just came into the room and said "Boy who did that... its great!" So you get double 10!
