Still Life

Another area of endless subjects to paint is the still life.  From the cutting board scraps in my kitchen to the elegant vases and pitchers, there's always a challenge. I tend to change my approach depending on the subject. I usually approach food stuff in a looser, sketchy manner.  There's no set up involved, I paint them as I find them. More elaborate set ups tend to be detailed and I take a deliberate approach. Like setting a table for special guests.
