Once Upon A Rose still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Once Upon A Rose still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I have seen many paintings of gift boxes and love them all. I decided that I wanted to paint one myself so I chose now to do it. Roses are also a challenge for me and with much practice I hope to get better at them. I always have trouble with coffee cups, keeping the shape right and yes those ellipses. Clear glass is in a league of its own so as you can see this painting was filled with challenges. I loved them all and am pretty pleased with the overall outcome. 20x16 oil still life on canvas panel.

I painted this a while back at one of my workshops. It was simpler and I was just not quite satisfied with it. I added the vase of flowers and the little blue flowers to the right and also the lemon wedge. I like it much better now. 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas.

Sail Away by Angela Sullivan

 Sail Away by Angela Sullivan

As an artist it is our decision when we choose to change the perspective or color or to add or 

leave something out. My daughter just bought a new home and wants me to paint her a series of 

coffee cups from places she has been. She is retiring from the Marines and will be close to me for the 

first time in a long long time.

Good To the Last Drop

A cup of coffee topped off our lunch as we just sat a while and

enjoyed our time together. The savory rich taste of the warm

delicious brew made me to know that I will be back for more.

Today I painted most of the day and then went shopping.

I found something that I really like a lot. Usually I use Golden or

Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics however at my local Hobby Lobby

I found some paint that I like a lot. It is Masters Touch brand

Grey Purple it has a peculiar smell but it thick and buttery. Love it.

I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White. Ok that's it ... My sharing

for the day.  4x4 acrylic on canvas panel

Two heavy cups will have heard many secrets.

Secrets only told in whispers over a cup of joe.

They have been held tenderly through both giggles and tears.

Porcelain and Grapes

Porcelain and Grapes

The coolness of porcelain invites the guest to pick out a cup for the afternoon

tea. Also as a treat, grapes of the juiciest quality can be sampled and later

tea cakes from grandma's kitchen. What a feast for friends. Over the warm

sweet brew stories will be told and maybe a little gossip and silly laughter will

fill the room with the things shared among friends.

The cool feel of the porcelin feels good when grasp in the hand.

Filled with hot liquid and then the lemon which will soon be

Just In Time for Breakfast

The family is gathered. It's early am. The rooster is crowing anouncing the

dawning of another day. The sun slowly creeps over the mountain tops and a heavy dew has

settled on the fresh cut grass. It is time for coffee and as the table is set we will not be late

for we are Just In Time for Breakfast.

While painting this I met a few frustrations with not only color choice but

brush work which ended up kinda loose and everywhere.

Oh Well! Sometimes you have to break the rules.

Hope you like this one.
