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
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...
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!
Wonderful job Betty, I love the glass balls, your objects made for an interesting composition. Also nice work on the pearl color on the inside of the shells.....
