Love Boat still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Love Boat still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Ok, So here is the truth...I painted this and thought of Banana Boat but then looking at the enduring position of the cherries decided instead to name it love boat after all the banana is kinda shaped like a boat. 10x8 oil on canvas panel. I am really proud of the floral cloth and the solid blue strip cloth. I am venturing out in my set ups and adding more items/interest.

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 amazes me that sometimes life takes a chunk out of my time and I can't paint for a while and then,

I paint, and I am smiling again. I am the happiest ever and I find myself in a happy place in front of my easel. Sometimes I paint from a photo but enough can not be said about painting from a life setup still life. Love it!!!

Choices still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Of course when I paint something I never know what to name it. I just paint it and then the name just comes. Maybe not always the best one but at least something. I added the lime and the cherry just for a little fun interest. So which choice would you choose a cherry or a lime. I made this artist bear. My first and only one. It was quite a challenge. 10x8 oil on canvas panel.

 Snail Mail still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I am loving painting from actual still life set ups. The little snail was given to me by my daughter. It is actually a salt shaker. It has a frog for the pepper shaker but I decided to leave it out for now. Again I added the cherries to bring the viewers eye back into the painting. 14x11 Oil on canvas panel. I purchased these panels from Hobby Lobby. They are triple primed and took oil quite well. I am pretty pleased with how they worked up. Hope you like this one.

Showing you my mistakes makes me feel very wide open so here goes. As you know I paint alla prima for the most part. I painted the top picture and was gonna be done. In fact I thought I was done but I knew I was not happy with the spout on the teapot even though it did protrude out as painted but it just looked odd. I left it over night thinking maybe no one would notice especially since I had added that luscious cherry. Anyway, I got home from work today and decided to add the second teddy bear. ( I made the larger bear out of floral fabric). I am much happier with the end result. 14x11 oil on canvas panel. (I also painted the ceramic teapot).

Painting today was so much fun. It was kinda like visiting an old friend. I got that comfortable familiar warm feeling just like sitting on the front porch with a cool glass of sweet tea...with lemon of course.
