Stargazer

When I picked these lilies up at Safeway the other day, most of the flower buds were closed. I had no idea how spectacularly lovely, fragrant and long lasting they would be.

I'm enchanted. :)

I rediscovered this wonderful little jar in my prop collection the other day. I first painted it holding roses. Then it occurred to me it might work even better with just a few petals.

I admired the shape of this wonderful, white squash for a long time before I figured out how to use it in a still life. Then, one day in class, we were stacking items on top of books. Eureka!

Peggy's Jar of Wooden Spools

Oil on Gessobord

One class a month is what I like to call "party day". We set up still lifes and have class in the morning, then walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch and return to paint some more afterwards. I get to take off the mantle of teacher and join in on the fun during the post lunch session. Best idea ever!

Peggy designed this still life set up. I fell in love with her jar of wooden spools.
