From Grandma's Attic

Just a collection of things placed in an old box. I had fun arranging the items to create certain shadows - like the ball hanging on the string,and the shiny blue of the glass balls. Oil on canvas

Beautiful, loose style and wonderful capture of color and transparency, Betty! Terrific!!! :)

Artist Reply: Thank you, Amy. Visiting this painting again makes me want to drag out my glass floats and do another one! Thanks for that! :o)

Your work is so pleasing to study.

This is wonderful Betty. I love the composition. How careful you have been about the weight of the shadows. You have great skill painting glass as well. It has a certain weight to it, but it is still glass. I could go on...

Beautiful oil

Beautiful betty :)

Julie Mayser 26 Jul 2005

Very nice work,Betty. I like the shadows and the gleam of the inside of the shells. There is an artist who lives near here who is a nationally known artist, and he does things in his still life subjects that are similar to the ball on the string and the shadow. He calls it " adding tension". this is a nicely set-up sstill life!
