Apples With Wine
7 by 8" oil on jute linen canvas mounted on hardboard
The solid, heavy weight of the wine bottle is what inspired me. I wanted to balance this with the soft, green and white cloths and finally, adding color with the red apples. The lighting used was the natural light that comes through my windows in the studio. Sometimes I like to use artificial lighting to cast a stronger shadow, but most often I use the natural light through the windows. I am enjoying my switch to the heavily textured jute linen for my still life's. I get to paint thick to get into the crevices of the linen cloth and like the personality this adds - plus, thick paint is fun!
