Postcards From The Easel A Blog about the Art and Artifice of Still Life Painting

Artist's Statement

Still life is a quiet art form - it's right there in the name itself.

A good still life painting draws the viewer into a calm, centered place, allowing silence to arise while the outside world falls away for a little while.

If it makes me feel like time has stopped while I'm looking at it, I know it's a good still life.

If one of my own paintings gives the viewer that experience, then it has succeeded.

“Still life is an alchemy of sorts, allowing us to transmute oil, pigment, and canvas into a grand illusion of shimmering light, profound stillness, and gracious refinement.”
