Still life is a subject matter I have not painted in quite some time. At times it seems like watercolor is not the best medium to express this but then I look in watercolor magazines and view these amazing paintings by a wide range of artists.
One afternoon this stunning sunlight shone across the hardwood floor in my living room. I scrambled before the light changed to arrange this as a still life. I found clementines from the kitchen, pottery from upstairs and a basket from my office, etc.
The next question was do I paint this as a plein air, over perhaps, several days or take photographs and paint from them? Soon we had a period of cloudy days and both my inspiration and patience had faded.
However, I am reconsidering painting a still life. But how should I approach it? That remains to be seen.
