Still-ish Life

Landscape and still life paintings have long traditions, but “still” is really not my style. To make them interesting for me to paint, I add my own twist. Sometimes a favorite park, autumn leaves, or contrasting colors in a fruit bowl inspire me, or it might be the moment right before something, or someone, moves that makes it exciting.
