Still Life Project 2020 – In Hindsight

This project brought me highs and lows. There were days I didn’t want to continue painting and got bored of the subject… That’s when I challenged myself the most… first to reconsider compositions and then to reconsider materials (or how I was going to use them). I’m glad this project is over. I don’t know when I might return to doing still life paintings, but I’m sure I will.

I hope you enjoy seeing the paintings in their chronological order and some of them have been cleaned up a little since their original publications.
