A Touch of Sour still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Another still life painted on a black 8x8 canvas panel in oil. There is a bit of glare which I just could not manage to get rid of. This is so much nicer in real life.

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.

Cackle Berry still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I found this little creamer and knew that it was just calling me to paint it. I have always loved painting eggs but to be honest have quite failed at painting them. I figured a cut one with the yellow showing might be an easy subject and am quite happy with how it turned out. And then the berry...
