Still Life Painting Threes Company by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Still Life Painting Threes Company by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I usually paint pretty exclusively with RGH artist oil paints but decided to change for a bit so I ordered a set of artist grade Gamblin oils. I don't know if I like them or not. The consistency is so different. I wish I could explain it but the Gamblin seemed to smear and The Cad Red Light just did not seem to mix as bright as with RGH. I am gonna continue to try them because yep! I have a whole set. Maybe it is just me and my not being used to them. I will let you know...

I know, I know this sheep is not black but I just could not think of another name for this painting. I was kinda nervous about painting the sheep. He is from the nativity collection of Willow Tree. I have had him for years but just decided to try and paint him. Hoping you like it. 14x11 oil on canvas panel.

I started painting this and just blocked it in and then painted the vase in first. As I established the purples I added them in splotches to the vase and the last added the dark blue. Nice I say then last but not least the sparkle of white just for attention. Oil on 8x8 inch canvas panel.

I don't know why this painting reminds me of my mother. She did not have a pitcher like this nor did she cook with or eat cherries May because it is soothing to look at.

Boy does it feel funny not to say acrylic.

I did have fun at the class. I am undecided as to what

I should do from here. I love the butteriness of oil but I am so

used to acrylic. Any suggestions? Oh well! I guess I will follow my heart???
