Painting this did make me think...alot. The play of color and the challenge of trying to make glass look like glass. Is this easy? Sometimes but not today.

Still Life Painting If That Isn't Love by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Still Life Painting If That Isn't Love by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I am really enjoying painting rich and loose. Each stroke is a challenge and they don't always turn out like I tell them to. I should have named this you've got to know when to hold them know when to fold them. 20x16x1.5 oil on gallery wrapped canvas.

Table For Two still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Table For Two still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I painted this for my entry for Savannah Christmas on The River Show.

I had to send in a painting 50% complete and I thought that once again you might like to see the process for my paintings. Oil painting done Alla Prima on 24x12 stretched canvas. I left some bold brush strokes while leaving areas of thick rich paint created by using a palette knife. I added the bright yellow spot of color on the left upper area of the jar and laid in a little purplish right beside it for contrast. I added highlights to the pears and painted the table cloth in and then dragged paint down and across to make the table cloth under the towel.

 This is the start of the painting blocked mainly just establishing location without much crisp detail.

 Next I added the cloth, table edge, and pears.

This is where I start adding the background color and making the water to look like water by going pretty light in the background inside the glass jar. I also add lighter, brighter green yellow stems. I try to keep the cloth without a lot of crisp detail inside and behind the jar so my main focus will not compete for attention.

I would love to hear your comments.

Out of Season by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Out of Season by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Among the paint props that my daughter gave me for Christmas was this little snowman. I was gonna wait until next Christmas to paint it but sitting there on the shelf I just couldn't resist along with the fact that every time my daughter came over she said Hey mom, when are you gonna paint the snowman. Well here it is. With the snow storms occurring recently this really isn't out of season.

Arranged Marriage by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

First of all I want to say thank you for viewing my art. Your support is so important to me.

This is going to be such a good year. I am looking forward to good things. 

Arranged Marriage I have to say is one of those paintings that I really love. I named it because of the meticulous time I took to arrange it. It just seemed right. Hope you love it. As I look at this I realize that my style is changing as time goes by little by little day by day. I hope you like this change...I think I do. 10x8 oil still life on canvas panel.

What's Inside

 

What's Inside

Don't you just love getting gifts. The anticipation of what's inside is sometimes better than the

gift within. I love the feeling of the smooth crispness of the paper and then seeing the beautiful bow. That alone makes me thankful for whatever is inside.

Giving Love Away

 

Giving Love Away

I am still in my quest of doing the perfect study which will become a larger painting. And

daily I trudge along paintingmy little heart out. Today once again I paint this Teddy Bear which my

mom gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I only have a few of them and treasure each one.

As I think about this little bear I think about my mom. She will be 89 this year. I still call her each day and I can't help but think about all those times she showed me love in so many ways. Like all of the times she did without so I could have what I wanted not what I needed. It is a wonderful thing when you give love away and years later it brings a smile when someone thinks of it.
