The White Jug





The White Jug

6x8in  oil on canvas board   $125. SOLD

This is a set-up I have painted before but wanted to do a detail from it
using the fracturing technique.

Artist Note.

 When setting up a still life I am always thinking of how the
eye will move around the painting.
This has a circular eye flow pattern.
At the same time, I am thinking about creating a pattern of light and dark.
In this case, placing a deep amethyst vase and cherries within
the dark triangular shape at the front, works to keep
the eye from spending too much time in an area that is not important.
If you want to try it, you can place
something lighter over the front vase to see how it changes the whole design.
