"Cottage Blue and White"


7.75 x 7.75 inches
oil on panel

Blue and white ceramics always catch my attention. I have wanted to paint this grouping for a long time. On this evening’s visit I really liked the deep shadows cast by the near by lamp so much, I painted them. Great fun!

What a beautifully painted still life. It's especially nice to see the strokes enlarged; they look very alla prima. Is this a shelf in your livingroom? Is it done alla prima?

Thanks! It is alla prima, thick and juicy. The shelf is in a friends home and there are always blue and white ceramics sitting here. There are so many areas in this room that would be fun to paint. I am sure I will do more.

Marilyn, Love your use of light including reflective light. Many artists don't go that far. Your paintings are lively and luscious in color and brush strokes.
